Fantastic product with quick delivery! So happy I can drink mate outside Brazil!

Popular for centuries in South America, yerba mate is now gaining popularity in America due to the theobromin content that leads to mood enhancement and balances the effects of the caffeine, though the amount of caffeine is quite small compared to coffee or most black teas. While the benefits of mate have long been established, mate made with fresh, (bright green) leaves is emerging as having a denser nutritional profile in terms of vitamins and antioxidants. However, as with green tea, green mate has some bitterness. With the chimarrão type of mate in Brazil, this is softened by the addition of ground stems, and chimarrão can take very long brewing times with increased depth of flavor but no increased bitterness. The flavor of Ximango is a little stronger than Cultyvada, the softest and most malty imported chimarrão at this point. With all type of mate, bitterness is diminished with lower temperature brewing water (65 to 80C is common), or with small amounts of unrefined, whole organic cane juice sugar. As awareness of the health risks of the large amount of refined white sugar common to the standard American diet increase, the benefits of moderate use of an organic unrefined sugar (which is metabolized far more slowly and has a complex variety of beneficial nutrients) are becoming more well known. Still, be aware of the various semi-refined sugars in the marketplace, as these do not have nearly the unique nutritional potential of truly unrefined organic cane juice sugar. Also, as an alternative to sugar, *very* small amounts of naturally sweet herbs like fennel seeds, licorice root, or Ceylon cinnamon can be added to the brewing cycle of chimarrão to get a rounder flavor.

this is better and worse then other yerba mate. I've bought around 5 different brands so far, mostly the cheaper brands. out of all them this is probably the greenest mate I've bought to date. i think only the most expensive brand I've bought tasted better then this one. but why only 4 stars if it is cheap, tastes good, and is probably fresher and better dried then other brands? it would be the particle size. i have 3 different bomba straws and all of them will let particles from this yerba mate into my mouth. i mean sure that happens with all the other brands too. but that first pull from my straw probably has 2 to 5 times the amount of leaf fragments in that 1 sip then I'd get from drinking a whole cup worth of other yerba mate brands and i have to strategically hover my straw mid drink to get the least amount of leaf in my mouth. if you have a very fine filter mesh for your straw and you don't mind blowing bubbles to unclog it after every sip, then this mate would probably be an excellent way to get higher quality flavor at a bargain basement price. but if you have yee old standard yerba mate straw with holes punched into metal and not some modern industrial style mesh. then you might not want this brand. it's not bad, I'm just not set up for this brand. also, after trying a bunch of different cheaper mates. sometimes they can be almost all stem pieces. I'd avoid those as it takes a lot more mate to get the same flavor and effect. the bonus to this one is that while it does have stems in it, it has a lot less then other cheap brands. good luck everyone!

I love yerba mate and alternate between several brands, drinking a different one everyday. The exception is Ximango which I drink every other day. According to the information on the package, the shelf life of Ximango, once opened is only month, so I want to finish it before it goes bad. However it has been at least two months since I opened the package, and it is still delicious! It has enough caffeine in it to keep me alert without jangling my nerves. It also helps my digestion and reduces gastric discomfort when I drink it. I would recommend it to any yerba mate lover.

El servicio es excelente y garantía comprobada

very good product

After years of drinking argentine mate I decided to try a brazilian brand. I do not regret it at all. Its harder to prepare, you need to know how to prepare it properly without getting your straw clogged. But the flavor is so smooth, it has a very fresh green flavor to it that is lacking in the more bitter strong argentine brands. I highly recommend this to anyone drinking mate.
