Is it very powdery compared to other brands? My main concern is that if it's too fine and dusty then it clogs the straw. Which brand is best?

Compared to other brands, this is not "very powdery". This Taragui happens to be the number one selling brand of yerba mate in the world. It is consistent in its production, timing, and freshness as a result of its popularity. At our website we have a buying guide that talks about yerba mate type 'suave' (smooth), because the suave blend has a higher stem concentration that helps keep straw from getting clogged. Suave are 20% stems. This Taragui is 12% stems, which is called style 'traditional'. Still, dust can be a problem with any style yerba mate, and for this reason there is a technique to keep the straw from being clogged. At our ma-tea website we have the following tip: "Cover with hand, turn upside down, and shake vigorously to help prepare the yerba mate. This moves the smaller yerba mate tea leaf particles to the top in order to prevent the mate straw (bombilla) from clogging." With this technique one can drink 'sin palo' types which are less than 1% stem content. Hope this helps!

what % liif/leaves vs stem and how much caffeine/100g

The ratio is proprietary by plantation usually not more than 3% stems, the caffeine is about 1% or about 33 mg per 8 oz of infusion. More information is available at inym dot org dot ar. The National Institute of Yerba Mate. My Yerba Mate Store

What is Taragui? Translate google brings it up as eating cod

The word taragui is the name of the product in the Guarani language, it is a green tea, it is not cod to eat, I do not know where I get that information from, I hope it serves the information. Thank you

what are the instructions to brew?

According to label instructions, in spanish. Use 14 teaspoons for every 16.9 oz of water. Make sure you heat water to 167 degrees. Otherwise, it will be a bitter-tasting beverage.

Rich, Authentic Flavor – A Yerba Mate Classic!

Taragüi is my go-to yerba mate — bold, smooth, and full of character. The 1kg pack is great value and lasts a good while, even for daily drinkers like me. I really appreciate that it comes "con palo" (with stick), which gives it a well-balanced, less bitter flavor and makes for a smoother brew.If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality Argentine mate, this one is a solid choice. Strongly recommend it for both beginners and seasoned mate drinkers!Pro tip: during hot weather, have it with ice-cold lemonade instead of hot water. We call it "Tereré", and the balance between the lemonade and the yerba is just the perfect summer drink!

The best yerba out there! The real deal

Taragüi is one of the best yerbas I’ve tried. The flavour is strong, smooth, and full-bodied without being overly bitter. It holds up well to multiple refills, and the aroma is really fresh. Perfect for a traditional mate experience — it feels authentic and energising every time. A great choice if you want proper Argentine yerba mate at home.

Powdery and bitterness is strong

I've tried a few brands of Yerba Mate and this one is definitely the strongest bitter taste so far. In terms of benefits this may indicate a good thing but I couldn't say for sure. It's quite a dusty product in comparison to others, but the use by date was 2+ years so I'm assuming this is as the product is and should be. I found I had to use less product otherwise the taste was far too strong. Maybe I'll get used to it, time will tell...

Taragui, very strong quick hit type yerba.

Not my favourite Yerba. Is very strong but washes out quickly.

Could be improved

Quite bitter and with a lot of dust. Could be that the export quality is worse than what we have in Argentina?
