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.

order # 299826

By: Helga Cross of Fallbrook, CA

my husband David purchased San Mateo Yerba Mate a while back, to 'keep' me happy. I grew up with Mate in Austria (Europe), where my mother purchased it through 'dark channels' via our local pharmacy (way back in time) - people thought it was a 'witch brew' because Mate has so many health benefits. I am so happy we found your company and I love your philosophy! Thank you for caring so much.

Great Alternative

By: David of Seattle, WA

I've loved the traditional mate blend for many years and this is a great alternative if you want a break from that, a little more crisp and bright like green tea but still full-bodied with that warm earthy flavor like the traditional blend. It's my personal favorite.

Refreshing Alternative

By: David of Seattle

I love the Traditional Mate, and would highly recommend the San Mateo as a nice alternative with a slightly more fresh and bright flavor. I drink it every day doing design work or music.

San Mateo Yerba Mate

By: Anonymous of Vallejo, CA

What a great product! I have had to quit coffee and caffeine products generally for health reasons (anxiety and dietary). But I felt so tired all day, even after doing daily 1 mile walks to build up my stamina. Yerba Mate to the Rescue!!!! Unlike coffee, Yerba Mate is an explosion of vitamins which gives me a burst of energy without anxiety or stomach pains. Thank you, Guayaki, for selling the 5 lbs bag for an inexpensive price! You have saved my life!

San Mateo

By: Barry of Casper, WY

San Mateo yerba mate is my favorite flavor that Guayaki sells in the 5 lb bag. I usually end up getting a couple of bags each time and right now have a good supply for the winter (20 lbs).
