Yerba Mate Rosamonte Especial 1kg (With Stems)

Rich and well-balanced flavour, very fresh and high quality. Ideal for everyday use.

As a first time drinker of yerba mate I expected this to be very bitter and an 'acquired taste' similar to coffee for the beginner. This wasn't the case at all. Little to no bitterness, little to none of that dreaded "dust", and very easy on the palate. Then again I am a seasoned herbal tea drinker and very accustomed to strong flavours such ginger, turmeric, dandelion root, papaya leaf, matcha etc, so that could be a factor ? Would highly recommend this brand to anyone, for both the health benefits and the taste

Great product. Arrived well on time and in very good condition.

Perfect

Lets start with basic stuff. Taste: I drink my yerba with a slice of lemon, its the way to go. This one is not that bitter as my previous pack, its good. Quality: It has plenty of dust, yes. Tried to get rid of it but there's no was, too much hustle but i guess it is what it is. Overall: Good, 4*

If you're a first-timer for yerba mate, this is a good one to go with. It's a very earthy smell that's quite relaxing to sip, and of very good quality. You get a damn good bang for your buck here, it should last you a few months. Sip over a few hours and the caffeine will do the rest. You may want something to store the yerba in though, as the packaging is quite packed and it's probably going to get everywhere.

I’m a mate lover! I’ve tried several brands, La Tranquera, Nobleza Gaucha, Amanda..they are all great but this one, OMG, the taste is rich, strong, amazing! Smell of the earth, the sun, of the nature of the great land of Argentina! I loved it! ❤️🇦🇷

All good. Quality changed though. Not as tastier as it used to be. It’s becoming less premium unfortunately.

Great Product

Je ne suis pas expert en Yerba Maté, celui la étant le premier que j'ai consommé, mais j'ai bien apprécié le goût légèrement amer et agréable. Je recommande donc en toute humilité et avec le peu de recul que j'ai !

I switched to mate from coffee a few years ago. I know it's generally an afternoon drink, but I drink it in the morning like coffee. There were a couple of websites where I bought it regularly. Unfortunately, Dr. Oz saw fit to publicly endorse it as a health tea, and the price went up everywhere, including my regular sellers. So I went looking, and found this on amazon. This is my favorite brand. The Selección Especial is aged two years in special wooden boxes with vents to let smoke in. This is "elaborada con palo", meaning that it has stem bits in it, which makes the flavor last longer for more refills. Some will prefer "sin palo"(without stems), because the stems also add a little bitterness to the mate. I understand that in Argentina, where mate is a common as coffee is here, Rosamonte is generally regarded as one of the best commercially available mate brands. Of this seller in particular, I can say that they were prompt, and that the box came with a couple free samples of flavored mate. A lot of people will prefer the flavored kinds, especially either "citron" which is lemon, or "hierbes de montaña", which means moutain herbs and tastes like mint. I, however, prefer this for day-to-day consumption. I run plain water through the coffee-maker, fill a large coffee cup about 1/3 full with mate, and just keep topping it up with hot water for a couple hours as I sip it through the bombilla. The main thing that pleased me about this merchant is that the product was considerably less dusty than what I had been getting from my previous suppliers. The difference is probably about handling and storage. The bags are like a bag of sugar, and a lot of rough handling could crush the leaves inside, creating dust. In the mate, dust gets through the holes in the bombilla and coats your tongue, tastes a little bitter, and generally degrades the experience. When it first arrived, I opened a bag and poured it into a big tupperware container that I use to store it. And I immediately noticed that there was very little dust compared to what I had been getting when I ordered this from my old seller. I'm very happy with what I received.

è davvero di un'ottima qualità tra l'altro mi hanno detto che è la marca di mate più conosciuta in Argentina. Di sicuro il sapore è ottimo, tutte le storie sul sapore amaro e sulle proprietà dimagranti ...beh per il primo si tratta di gusto, io per esempio lo bevo amaro e con gli strumenti tradizionali ovvero la tazza zucca e la bombilla, per il secondo punto direi che per dimagrire ci vuole un'alimentazione sana, esercizio fisico e poi tutte le altre cose sono solo optionals!

Der Mate hat ein interessantes Geschmacksprofil, nach geröstetem Brot oder holzig, ganz anders wie der normale Rosamonte, genau richtig für genieser
