THE MATE FACTOR Organic Fresh Green Yerba Mate, 12 OZ

This is definitely the best Yerba Mate that I've had. It is consistently very flavorful and makes a delicious tea that gives me energy without a crash later or any jitters. I would certainly recommend it

Great quality, taste and price.

I love this tea! I recently switched to this instead of coffee. I have purchased this at a health food store before, but I have to travel 45 miles to buy it there. This bag from Amazon was equally delicious.

This is such high quality green mate, (you can find out why on their website), it converted me from chimarrao which I thought could never happen. One thing to note is that mate is not like black or green tea in that it doesn't get bitter or stewed the longer it's in the water. The opposite in fact. Bitterness is more a function of the initial water temperature, I like 160F but you could go even lower. If you're interested in a deeper or richer flavor without going to a gourd, you can try a few things besides using more mate. Easiest is to add a small amount of cold water to the leaves first to open them up. You can also grind the leaves a little finer (gently, by hand is better for avoiding powder than by machine) to get both deeper flavor and more body. Finally, most effective is put the leaves in cold water in a glass jar ahead of the brew time, put this in the fridge if it's the night before, then heat this gently in a waterbath to temperature in the morning. This, along with prior grinding, gives a cup with a more intense and longer taste, and at 160F, 1-2T per 6 ounces of water, a great lingering sweetness to the finish.

It’s my first time drinking Matte, great taste no like the regular green tea which makes me feel nauseous.

Great flavor and smells divine. I really like the quality of this tea and will reorder again.

I kicked the habit about a year ago, but this brand was always the best in my opinion. If I ever go back... this will be my brand again.

Made my tea in a French press, not a lot of flavor, would say if the color green had a flavor this would be it. Will get try and get used to it. Little difficult getting used to after being a coffee drinker for so long. Haven't been drinking it consistently enough to speak about any health benefits.

Big loose green tea drinker. Read about Yerba Mate and this is a good organic supplier. The tea had a very soothing slighty spaced out effect to my senses (and no I do not smoke or take any kinda of contraband). So just bear this in mind if you are a first time drinker. Excellent with dried mint and honey. Slightly grassy green tea taste.

Just a green tea ! No effect for weight loss !!

i somehow feel less hungry

Everything Ok!

I know that mate is meant to have a number of health benefits, but only if you can drink it of course. I made it the traditional way in a gourd, sucking through a "bombilla". However, the taste was horrible, like grass (ie from the lawn, nothing stronger but still undrinkable to my mind. Best to try one of the tea bag type preparations first I would say, before going for the full mate kit.
