I recently bought this, and had my first cup today. It is really gross, and tastes fishy, almost like salmon...is this just because it's unsmoked?

I have never had a fishy taste with mine. Maybe you just need to drink it with a bit of sugar? I love this brand of Yerba. Smoked was always too strong for me, then I found this. However I can get it cheaper at Nugget Market in the Sacramento, CA area.

Can you put this in an empty capsule? anyone tried this? Not much for tea but want the benefits.

No doubt you can, but I’d question the capsule’s utility. Remember, an infusion usually uses at least a tablespoon of tea for a cup or two. Even if you really packed it in (which might reduce surface area/gut absorption) there’s no way you could get that much even in a 00. Maybe 3 or 4 caps? Definitely takeable, but means you’re increasing the pills you have to make by a factor of 3 or 4. :/. Another prollem, sort of counterintuitive, but you might worry about excessive concentrations as well. Sure, a single cap might only pack a teaspoon or so, but compressed and pressed against epithelial tissue you’re going to get a hotspot of really high concentration tapering off as radius increases. With an infusion you won’t have that problem as the solution is homogeneous and diluted to taste. On the plus side… slow release? I dunno. If you really hate the taste, you could use a french press or something and try and squeeze a shot glass’s worth of infusion from a cup’s worth of tea. Even worse taste, but you can shoot it and chase it with something to mask the flavor.

Why is there a Prop 65 warning for this brand if it is Organic? Isn't organic supposed to prevent contaminants?

Have no idea but you can look up Prop 65. I thought this was a good product. But I’m sure you’ll do your research if you’re worried.

I use my keurig and drink with a filtered straw. Don’t boil the water. The temp needs to be around 160 degrees F. Keurig: Put 2-3 tbsp of loose leaf in your cup. Press the large cup on the Keurig. Be sure a k cup in NOT in place. Once the Keurig is finished filling your cup with water place your filtered straw and stir a little. If you get some foam on the top you have a good brew. Let the tea steep and cool for a few minutes before drinking through your filtered straw. The straw is also known as bombilla. You can buy good filtered straws on amazon. No Keurig: Same process but just heat your water up to 160 degrees. You can use a mesh ball but I use a filtered straw bc i like the taste and the brew seems more “potent” with a straw. Happy Brewing!

It's organic

It's a good quality yerba. Whoever needs more Palos in it should add a yerba with Palos

I like it better than green tea

I love the rich flavor and the added benefits of this over green tea. I found it to be LESS bitter than green tea also.

Package was damaged

This is great Yerba Mate. My bag today arrived with a hole in it. Looks like I’ll be getting a refund. Through IA I wasn’t able to describe the problem, but was still able to get the refund.

Clean Green Energy! Pour Over Pot!

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!
