Yerba Mate Rosamonte x 500 g Argentina Green Leaf Tea Loose Herbal Bag 1.1 lb !!

I'm no connoisseur of fine Mattes. I've only tried a few brands, but Rosamonte is my favorite so far. I think the flavor is stronger than others and the loose leaf mix is just the right grade: not too dusty and fine and its not like, straight up leaves either. Its pretty much perfect for probably any type of filter. Also, I don't think there were too many sticks and stems as fillers in the bag. I'm pretty sure the bag Cruz de Malta that I ordered had a bit more of that (although apart from this minor discrepancy, I remember Cruz de Malta being practically indistinguishable from Rosamonte). In any case, I will surely order Rosamonte again for my loose leaf Yerba Matte fulfillments.

My husband loves this product, we keep reordering

It has an earthy flavor that I like and the price was good. It's kind of "dusty" as with most teas like this. I've ordered another brand this time, a bulk bag of five pounds. I enjoy different teas and the yerba mate is said to help control blood sugar levels and be energizing. Here's hoping. ;)

This is the first brand of yerba mate I have tried. I found it really pleasant and will definitely buy it again. I was hesitant that it might be too bitter or overpowering, but it wasn't at all. Just make sure to use hot, not boiling water, to steep it. I love sweet drinks, so I added a little honey and YUM! I drink it every morning, and after about a week of doing this, I really have noticed that I am more clear headed and have more energy throughout the day. It also cuts my appetite! I never used to drink caffeinated drinks because they usually make me anxious and jittery (1 soda would do this to me) but this mate is great. I have had no 'crashes' or jitters or anxiety at all. So, if you are new to this drink and want to give it a try, start with the Rosamonte brand.

My niece's husband is Argentinian and sips this stuff all day long. They were coming for a visit, so I thought I'd try to be prepared ... Turns out this is his favorite brand.

I really hate writing a bad review, and I'm certainly not a connoisseur of Yerba Mate teas, but this tea tastes awful. It's only the second Yerba Mate I've ever bought but the taste between this one and the other one I have is worlds apart. The bag was damaged when I received it and was taped up to keep the contents inside. That wasn't a problem in and of itself but I noticed a lot of dusty particles of tea had escaped the bag which made me wonder if it was in leaf form at all. I opened the bag and dumped it all into a gallon size Ziplock bag since the original bag was damaged. There are leaves in it but there is a lot of dust in it. The dusty stuff escaped my tea infuser and ended up in the bottom of my cup when I steeped this tea. I was thinking about hand sifting out the dust and saving the leaves but the taste is so bad, sorry to say but it reminds me of an ashtray, that I don't think I'll bother. If someone thinks I'm doing something wrong that may effect the flavor (steeping too long, using too much tea, etc.) please let me know.

I should preface this by saying that I've never been to Argentina, so this review is from a somewhat mate-ignorant perspective. That said, I really loved this mate! I drank it all pretty quickly, and it is of a very satisfactory quality. It has no pretensions—this is ordinary, everyday, decent mate, and my friends and I greatly enjoyed it.

Costs the same as a 1 kilo bag of Yerba Mate. I wasn't being careful and amazon truncates the end of the description where it says 500G.
