Centenaria Traditional Pure Leaf Yerba Mate 500 g (1.1lbs)

I am not a fan of Canarias or other Uruguayan brands but this one is much less bitter and I like it. I contacted the producer to find out why it seems to be sweeter than other brands from Uruguay. He said they carefully select the yerba from plants grown "under the canopy", which is what we would refer to as wild harvested.

Softer than Canarias? Yes. Sweeter... not so much. It's also got a strong smoky taste I don't care for. Great cut, low dust.

Has a good smokey flavor

Sweet AND smoky flavor! I'm normally an Argentine yerba fan but I am really enjoying this... super low dust content for a Uruguayan means smooth sipping with the bombilla but it is difficult to keep the mountain tall. Sweet at lower temperatures, smoky and almost citrusy flavors at higher temps. I keep my termo filled with water at about 170.
