Circle of Drink - Yacuy Certified Organic Green Yerba Mate Tea - Gourmet Erva Mate Chimarrao - Super Fresh Vacuum Sealed - 1kg - 2.2 lbs (1 PACK)

This Yerba is special. It’s like the plastic surgeon who does such a stellar job you are left second guessing if work was even performed! It is subtle, yet powerful. Like a tide that slowly builds into a momentous wave, it doesn’t bring “peaky” highs, it just warms you gradually with an embrace that uplifts and energizes. The flavor profile is quite mellow—-hints of Green hay, and a neutral taste that neither overpowers nor underwhelms. While I do drink it daily, I liken it to that rare or fine wine that is best served when the mood strikes. My “go-to” Yerba for years has been eco-teas unsmoked, and I do really like that brand, however I feel the quality of this Yerba is superior (and it is reflected in the price). Really a fun and unique Yerba definitely worth sampling and savoring.

Maybe you are interested in Yerba Mate but you've heard of the cancer link and perhaps started looking for "smoke free" mate? If so, you hit the jackpot! This style of Brazilian Yerba Mate is called a Chimarrao, and it consists mostly of vibrant green powdered mate with the inclusion of some stem chunks (maybe 10% or even less). When I say bright green, I mean, bright green like fresh matcha. It comes vacuum sealed in a solid brick, and is packaged well to preserve the wonderful freshness of this product-also, be sure to jam the entire thing in a gallon ziplock freezer bag and keep it in the fridge to maintain that freshness. This Yacuy mate is much different from the smoked/aged mates you might be used to-it is fresh, potent, and delicious with no trace of smoke-you don't have to worry about polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with this product. Ecoteas is the primary "non smoked" mate, and I like them well enough-I have a bag in my cupboard now-but I would never buy it again after trying this brand-this is the holy grail of "green" mate for me. You will enjoy it!

Pros: This is excellent Mate, very fresh and green, the effect of energy is slow build up and long lasting, it literally killed my hunger cravings, positivity and motivation is pretty good, highly alkalizing to the body, i'm also using this as a pre workout supplement!!Cons: it's little pricey than other products on the market, it's hard to brew as it contains fine powder that will settle in the bottom of your cup like green goo if you are brewing through a tea strainer, it's not that big of a problem though.I recommend this product, I will buy it again, the 2 pack is more discounted i will go for that next time.

Loved it, exactly how it should taste.

Muy buena calidad. Me gustó mucho

I drink chimarrao every day and I live outside brazil for more than a decade, so I am stuck buying erva mate online. To me the brand focused all in the marketing and not in the product. The product is fine but nothing justify the price compared to the other brands you can find. I would also drop the whole rainforest marketing.

This has become my favorite every day Chimarrão. The flavors are subtle and complex and subtable for an ongoing mate addiction.

Mm where to begin... This is a whole new ballgame compared to Argentinian/Paraguayan brands. It’s a very fine powder similar to matcha, which is somewhat difficult to prepare. It’s amazing taste is like I’m sipping a forest. The bright green color is almost fluorescent in nature. I’ll be buying this again in the future.
