This is the top best mate I've ever had! The only other one this good is Meta Maté's Moonshine Mate Moída Grosa
Really great straw! The large straw is 9 inches - perfect for a tall glass
I’m an American and had the chance to live in Brazil for 2 years as a service missionary and I drank Chimarrão and tereré daily and still do to this day(my wife gets annoyed with my pantry of just mate lol)
It was to the point where I was so good at making it that the Brazilians would have me make it for them and teach them how to make it better without clogging the bomba.
Since being in the states it’s hard to get the brands that I like so I always order different brands of Chimarrão from different sites to see if I can find one to stick with and this mate was amazing!
Tasted just the way I had hoped. Very clean and fresh grassy flavor with just the right amount of bitterness to make you want more.
Also VERY dark GREEN!
I will be a forever returning customer for this particular Chimarrão.
To the MATERO team….please find this in moída grossa! It would make for the perfect mixture. I’ll even special order.
Has a good smokiness. Seems like I get more out of each cup too, I can use a 3rd thernos of hot water on it before it's done.
I absolutely love it, it's excellent, easy to clean, dishwasher friendly and looks very nice. I am Mexican, and I feel that I am there with you in Los Andes! Thank you, I will acquire more soon.
A delicious smoky erva! Probably the best one that you can (sometimes) get in the US. Would definitely get it more often, if it were more available.
A bit on the expensive side compared to others but well worth it
This is the first time I've tried yerba mate. This kit was easy to understand and came with a flyer that helped with instructions for how to cure and prepare. I liked it!
It made for a great gift over the holidays.
I'd always have this in stock when I lived in Buenos Aires. I love it and goes well with crackers
i thought this was what I needed for a sample use, but it requires the purchase of additional equipment; this does not come in tea bags, so you either need the gourds that are advertised with this or a french press or something, which i don't have and don't want to buy just to try a sample of something. it is just a bunch of dried leaves in a compressed block, and it's not resealable, making storage another surprise problem i would need to solve. it's possible this all was in the fineprint when i made the purchase, but i was surprised by what i received nonetheless. i tried putting it in a coffee machine, and it really didn't work very well. perhaps this product is good, but as i have no way to use it, i will never know. overall, i feel this was a waste of money, but if you have equipment, perhaps you will find it good - i really can't say. shipping was fast, so ive given this product an average rating.
