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.

I want my yerba mate!

By: Dave Kisor of Pahoa, HI

I've quit drinking coffee in favor of yerba mate. I started drinking it several years ago and it kind of grew on me. With a little stevia and the day is complete.

Start every day with my mate tea

By: Chris McClure of Tillamook, Oregon

I start every day with my loose leaf mate tea, and take an extra shot stored in the bottom of in my stainless steel mug. I love it in the afternoon at work, too. I gave up coffee more than ten years ago and have only been drinking the mate. I think I am healthier and happier, and I never get the jitters that coffee gave me. I traveled overseas several times, and have always taken my mate to India and Africa.

Greedy and Dishonest

By: Elisa Wagner of Grafton, Ohio

Hi! The 5lb. bag of Loose Mate was great-neato packaging & superb quality. The problem arose when I weighed the bag to split with a friend. I found it to be 3 solid ounces OVER! I knew the right thing to do would be to alert you to the error, but one sip of the wonderful brew, and all my moral uprightness went right out the window! I have suffered much angst over my new-found greedy and dishonest nature. When thinking about it gets to be too much, I simply have another cup and am soothed once again! Keep up the good work guys!
