Aroma & Taste

Yerba mate has a powerful earthy flavor and a bit of smokiness with a mildly bitter and grassy undertone.

It also gives off a eucalyptus fragrance which some can find unsettling at first.

Brewing Instructions

Mate to2/3 of a container (use

Add  1-3 tbsp Yerba Mate depending on the strength that you are looking for, to the 2/3 of a container (use a mate gourd, cup, small mason jar etc).

Tap the Yerba Mate to one side of the container to create a 45° little slope on one side.

Moisten the Yerba Mate with cool water. Just a splash at the bottom of the slope.

Gently insert the filter tip of bombilla (straw) into the bottom of the container.

Add warm water in the bottom until it reaches the 3/4 of your Yerba Mate slope.

Sip this first pour and re-infuse up to 10 times with hot water.

A Small Tip

If you’re infusing with hot water, steep for 4 to 10 minutes. If you’re cold brewing, we recommend to letting it steep for 1 to 10 hours.

Again, it all depends on the strength that you’re looking for.

Yerba Mate can be infused with hot (65-80°C / 149-176°F) or cold water.

One important thing to remember is to never use boiling water.

Boiling water burns all the nutrients and makes bitter Yerba Mate.

Also, making a brew in the traditional gourd and drinking with a straw will increase its strength.

Storage

keep it  in a cool & dry place.
