Good Quality, very tasty - Complex and smoky flavor, very mild, though.

Break it up into bags and freeze it if you don't drink it everyday.

If you like the taste of mate, Cruz de Malta is a staple, and so is Rosamonte. Both brands deliver although Rosamonte is bit bolder in flavor, perhaps because there is more fine powder in the mix than Cruz, but that doesn't mean Cruz is any less of a mate, just different. I have Rosamonte at my desk at work for every weekday and Cruz on my counter at home for the weekends. Just my preference. Anyhow if you are in the market for good mate, you should at least try two different kinds brewed then chilled to get a basis of comparison (it's cheap at hell to buy anyway), and I believe these are the top sellers in South America, home of the mate.

This mate has an excellent flavor. The first sip or two are a bit strong for an American palette, but from there it's smooth sailing! Rosamonte is my favorite brand, with this a close second. Highly recommended!

January 2, 2012 -- Postmenopausal women who consumed yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) tea had higher bone mineral density compared with women who did not drink the tea, Andrea Conforti, MD, from the Program for the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis in Mendoza, Argentina, and colleagues report in the January 2012 issue of Bone.

With the price of prescription medications, this would be a good alternative if it's ok with your physician. I'm going to try it!

A good choice for a yerba mate drinker. A little bitter but still a good one to try.

While I have had better the price on this mate was not to be beaten! It has proven to be pretty tasty stuff as well, straight from good old Argentina.

The price is way too high. I can buy a 1 Lb bag of Cruz for about $ 4.00 at Amigofoods.com

As I have said in another review, I'm no connoisseur of Yerba Matte, and I may haven't tried the different brands in a side-by-side sampling, but of the few brands I have tried, Cruz de Malta rates #2, with Rosemonte winning 1st place. The main difference that I noticed has less to do with flavor than it did consistency: my bag of Rosemonte had fewer sticks and stems than did mine of Rosamonte. Other than this they were--to my tongue, anyway--indistinguishable.

I read about Yerba Mata giving you a natural energy boast and being a natural cleanser. So far seems to work well. There is not much taste to this tea but you can add what you want to it for flavor. Otherwise good product

I can't compare this to anything as I haven't tried mate until I got this in the mail along with Rosamonte and my bombilla. I really liked both brands actually. Now, I'm a fan.
