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.

Clean High

By: Tim Henry of Laytonville, CA

Being a Barbacua snob for over a decade, it was a hard decision to try something new. A paranoid hydrocarbon zealot encourage me to make the shift to San Mateo and I was happily surprised by my enjoyment. The San Mateo has a clean mate flavor and a clean high. Mix it with other blends like a Java Mate and it takes on that bold flavor. Even if the switch isn't permanent, San Mateo will help me take not Barbacua for granted.

Mellow taste - less "acidy"

By: Greg Hellyer of South Berwick, ME

We prefer San Mateo to the excellent Traditional Guayaki Mate as it has a more mellow taste and is less "acidy" when steeped a long time; while all the benefits of Traditional Mate are maintained!

great tea

By: Steve of Hayden, ID

We're enjoying this tea a lot. We usually have some at night and make it fairly mild. But the tea can be made strong or mild, full of flavor.

Health Magic!

By: Karrie of Billings / Mt

I have been diagnosed with an auto immune disorder with sucha restricted diet that there is very little I can eat or drink. My health has continued to degrade. I started drinking Mate within the last few months and can tell a great difference in how well I feel and how much better my brain and body have been doing since. The amount of amino acids in this drink have saved my life! Thank you

My review

Everything ran smoothly when I made the order, and it did arrive as scheduled(date given). And, the quality's always been there. Thank you. I do like talking to human beings myself, so I'd like to see the same deals available over the phone as on the website. How 'bout it? Thanks again, William Ferrer

Love Yerba Mate Tea

By: Lisa G of Gillette, WY

I really love the flavor of the San Mateo Tea- We make it up in half gallon containers and I send it with my husband daily in his lunch. He also uses it on bike rides or motorcycle rides. We are sold for life with this tea company. Can hardly wait to try more flavors! Thank You for the GREAT tasting tea!
