Rosamonte Suave Yerba Mate 500 g (1.3 lbs)

I'm new to mate and have tried several - made hot using a tea infuser or French press. They've all been good in different ways, but this is my favorite so far. It has more body than most, is not smoky or bitter, but has a complex flavor with an interesting grassy note. For comparison, the mildest I've tried is Guayaki San Mateo; the strongest is Selecta, but it's also fairly smoky. I find Rosamonte Suave is a little milder than Selecta, but manages to be just as flavorful.

It feels as though they strip out not only some of the flavor but its efficacy as a 'get me going' beverage as well

Good and refreshing.

This is good yerba, better for those who are just starting out. Not as full as the Especial by Rosamonte, and does not last as long. For the states it is priced about right, and goyerba ships very quickly. The product is self is good in a pinch but I would rather stick with Especial or La Merced

I love the bitterness and bite of this mate, though it kinda feels a little metallic on the aftertaste. I'll still go through the bag though and enjoy it!
