A Cut Above
Guayaki Yerba Mate has the typical “Paraguayan” cut. In Uruguay, you will find that they prefer their mate cut to have even more powder. In Argentina, you will find the preferred cut is void of both powder and stems. In our years of research drinking mate in tea bags, through a French press, in a gourd or guampa, we have found that the Paraguayan cut delivers the smoothest balance of flavor.

Imparting the sweet nutty profile from the stem content balanced with the strength of the additional surface area from the powder, you have a full bodied mate with several characteristic layers of flavor. We like to consider the cut as a sort of “whole herb” approach, understanding that the stems add their own distinct function, and indeed carry an additional nutritional profile to the mate.

When packing a gourd, gently shaking the mate with a tilt allows the stems to rise, and the powder to drop. After inserting the bombilla, the gourd is tilted upright allowing the larger stems and leaf to surround the bombilla, and thus creating an additional “filter” layer that assists in keeping out the fine sediment. Without the powder, the mate needs additional time to impart its full flavor. With the powder, you get balanced flavor from the start, with the leaves and stem assisting in carrying the balanced flavor throughout the duration of the mate drinking session.

Better than Coffee

By: Summer of California

My husband has altogether stop drinking coffee and now only drinks Yerba Mate! It is better tasking and soothing on the stomach. We found Traditional Mate to be the best out of all the flavors of Mates. Also, loose mate is much much much better than teabag mate. There is no comparison between the two. Loose vs. teabag actually tastes like two completely different teas. We found teabag form not so good tasting. Buy loose only and use a tea ball to seep tea.

Excellent Product and Service

By: Luke Staengl of Floyd, Virginia

I just want to say that I have been buying bulk Traditional Yerba Mate from Guayaki for years, and find both the product and the service to be well beyond my expectations - thanks to them for the good work they do. I and my family drink the wonderful tea on a daily basis - and it is the best Mate I have found anywhere. Additionally I much appreciate the company ethic and the wonderful work they do in Paraguay, which is where I was born. Congratualtions to Guayaki for impccable product, service, and work to improve our planet. Thanks again - Luke Staengl

Love Mate!

By: Rickie Dickerson of Riverside

I have become a Yerba Mate fan! I drink it every day all day long, never get tired of it, never get 'wired' from it. The best beverage I have ever had AND it helps sustain communities and our greenery. I love the bio degradable 1 lb bag and look forward to the bio degradable 5 lb bag!

Heaven !

By: Laura of Ojai, CA

I've been buying your Traditional Yerba Mate in the 5 pound (loose-leaf) bulk size for years. I'm just as happy now, as I was in the beginning. No, actually, I'm happier now -- the packaging can't get any better! And the delicious Mate speaks for itself - absolute Heaven! Thank you, Guayaki. Laura
