Description
Yerba Mate is an uplifting and energizing herb that is indigenous to the Amazon and is wildly popular throughout parts of South America for its robust flavor. Often thought of as the "tea" of Latin America, yerba mate is one of just four botanicals in the Americas to contain caffeine. It has a bittersweet, earthy and mineral flavor with nuances of olive leaf and eucalyptus. Traditional roasting and aging of yerba mate creates a pleasant, toasted aroma and ranging complexity.

High quality, wonderful taste
Been a fan and lover of Rishi for a few years now. I appreciate the love and care that goes into selecting
...
and picking the tea leaves. You can totally taste the love!

Wonderful
This is a very smooth cup of Yerba Mate with the eucalyptus and olive leaf balancing out the flavor nicely
...
. It doesn't have the smoke-house taste that other brands offerings do, which is a plus for me. Energizing but no caffeine jitters. A breed above the common marketplace. Will definitely order again.

Excellent Yerba Mate
One of my favorite yerba mate's, great flavor and balance!

pretty good
I'm not sure if I even like Yerba mate tea to start with, so am probably not the best person to compare
...
it to others that I've tried. This was as sophisticated as it gets, I guess, though take care not to over brew it as the taste can get quite strong quickly.
