5.0 out of 5 stars This Yerba Mate is a Keeper September 14, 2011
Size Name:1 lb bag|Amazon Verified Purchase
Other reviewers have mention the fine particles in Guayaki Loose Yerba Mate, but all the Yerba Mate I've tried had some fine particles, and this does not bother me. Yerba Mate is actually made from the leaves and stems of the South American rainforest holly tree, so some dusty particles are bound to end up in the tea.

Admittedly, I don't love the taste of Yerba Mate without sweetener and a bit of milk. It does not taste like traditional tea, it has more of a green tea taste, but much earthier. I do not find this tea to be bitter, but then I brew it appropriately: stir the tea in a small amount of cold water, then add 185 degree water. I steep for 5 or more minutes, and if I steep for just 5 minutes, I find I can brew a second cup using the same tea by skipping the cold water and steeping for about 10 minutes.

In my opinion, Guayaki Traditional Mate brews up nicely to a full-bodied tea that perks up my brain during afternoon energy slumps, without the upset stomach and "on edge" feeling that I get from coffee. In addition to caffeine, Yerba Mate contains antioxidants. I am on my second bag of this Yerba Mate, and I'm very happy with it. This same tea is available in Yerba Mate' Tea -Organic - 25 - Bag, so if the fine particles bother you, the bags may be a better choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff April 24, 2011
Size Name:1 lb bag|Amazon Verified Purchase
Love this stuff and buy alot of it. Its a pretty good deal online here and lasts a while.
I suggest this to tea drinkers and especially coffee drinkers since it has less caffeine but does not give me the jitters or a crash. I drink it all day long and it has increased the effectiveness and duration of my studying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not authentic, but still very good July 23, 2011
By Eve
Size Name:1 lb bag|Amazon Verified Purchase
Guayaki is the most common brand of maté on the market, and I bought it because of the good deal here. Although there are more traditional brands out there with a much finer grind. Other than that, I love maté. I totally kicked my coffee habit without really even trying. It gives you an alert feeling, but much different than from coffee- you won't be jittery at all. Great for elimination, but totally not like a laxative at all. Make it as strong as you possibly can!

Tastes okay. I was drinking the Guayaki chocolatte yerba mate originally which is really good with the cinnamon and spices. This was relatively bland compared to that. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Mate is mate
Original Mate flavor, but I must admit I enjoy the Gaucho Fuerte for the more smokey/caffeinated blend and the San Mateo blend for the lighter, tea-like days.
