ECOTEAS Organic Unsmoked Yerba Mate Tea Pure Loose Leaf 1 LB (Pack of 2)

For my first yerba, this is great. It's smooth, earthy, and just overall great. After trying a different brand of yerba, this one is more on the mellow side. Not so powdery. Just perfect to get started with.

This mate is really good. Very clean, give me the energy I need throughout the day.

The tea had a good earthy taste. I love the flavor and the smooth flavor of the green tea.

Not too finely cut, great mate for beginners, as it’s not too bitter. Flavor itself is pretty mild but not in a bad way. Doesn’t have the same kick as some other brands, so it’s good if your a little more sensitive

The media could not be loaded.  This has become my favorite Tea. I drink it almost every morning. Occasionally I'm in the mood to make Chai or Coffee. But this is my main morning staple, which is a good thing since I use to drink 2 cups of coffee every morning for decades! I do not have that come down tired feeling as coffee can do to you. I feel clear headed, energized with just the right amount of caffeine, it is also a natural appetite suppressant for me, as well as just overall good and healthy.I have recently started making it in my Pour Over pot and WOW! Even better! Smoother and more delicious! One of these bags lasts me about 5-6 months which makes it well worth the price. I use 3-4 for 4-5 cups, my cup is large, but I just repour it over a couple of times as I go to strengthen the Tea. You get a lot out of this pound if you use it wisely, and not just toss it out after a cup or two. Try it!

Great taste

Purchased a few times for my husband who works nightshift as a RN. Very effective , highly recomemd.

Nice good flavor

Drinking Yerba Mate for years now and this product by far has the best taste. Only a very, very tiny amount of twigs (almost none). I will buy it again!

I loved the high quality of this product

I had many brands. This one tastes the best.The only downside is the price.

I am not an expert on mate. I like the taste of this one. It does not have much of powder, no twigs. I guess I have to try some premium mate to compare... Good value for your money.

Some people buy unsmoked because they read that "smoked yerba mate is associated with increased risk of cancer if you drink 30 cups a day for 20 years." I probably would minimize consumption of smoked yerba mate for the long term. This unsmoked variety is good. If you want more flavor, mix some fennel seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg etc into the tea infuser ball when making the tea. This kind still has the same caffeine kick which is the important part IMO.
