Yerba Mate Playadito 1 kg. | 2.2 lbs. - 2 Pack.

I love yerba mate and I’m trying to wean myself off of energy drinks. I bought this 1 pound+ bag of loose leaf mate and a pack of fillable drawstring tea bags. I’ll probably get 75 to 100 servings from it depending on how I fill the bags. I can barely buy three of the canned mate drinks at the corner store for this price! Upon opening, it was clear that this is fresh and of good quality. It tastes and smells amazing and is not bitter to my pallate. I fill a blank (that’s what I call them) tea bag with a spoonful of mate and steep it upward of 5 minutes in filtered water heated in the electric kettle to about 160F. I add a pinch of brown sugar and I’m on my way! It’s said that mate should generally steep in hot, but not boiling water. The ‘green tea’ or ‘delicate’ settings on my kettle work perfectly. Hot enough to stay warm in my travel mug but not scald myself, and it keeps the tea from becoming bitter. Lower temps also supposedly preserve the good compounds and maximize caffeine release (so ‘they’ say). I’m weirdly excited about this purchase. The tea is good and the wakefulness is far more pronounced than what I get from canned yerba mate drinks, or high sugar energy drinks. Coffee makes me weird and sweaty and unpleasantly manic and can induce what feels like a bloodsugar crash. Yerba mate has always been kind to me even when consuming up to 5 mugs a day (on the rare high end). I try not to have it after late afternoon as it can keep me awake. This is a great way to enjoy yerba mate at a lower cost than buying packs of ready-made tea bags and it’s a WAY better deal than shelling out the daily cost of a pair of canned mate drinks or energy drinks. Get yourself some fillable drawstring tea bags to go with this big bag of tea!

I just recently ventured into yerbamate. I use this to make cold brew tea which minimizes the natural bitterness. I add lemon/lime and some sweetener to it for my morning tea. If I’m motivated I will blend it with a mint green tea and the combination tastes divine. A little goes a long way and it packs a serious punch on the caffeine side. While I don’t consume excessive amounts of caffeine, I’m no stranger to it. If you drink too much of this tea though you will be shaking and jittery. Overall, I’m very pleased with this yerbamate. This price is great and it seems to be a nice quality product.

I love this brand of yerba mate, the flavor is very good, I'm satisfied.

Mmm great product, gives you energy fast and no jitters.

Nice taste - not too strong.

Great yerba mate, very happy with the delivery

I have ADHD. I had NO IDEA how Yerba Mate affects those who have ADHD. I thought it would give me the traditional CAFFEINE KICK like coffee. YOU WILL NOT GET THE CAFFEINE KICK HERE AT ALL AND IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS THINKING IT WILL REPLACE YOUR COFFEE...YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!! For me Yerba Mate....and I cannot believe I'm saying this...IT WILL GIVE YOU THE SAME BUZZ as smoking maryjane. NOT a strong buzz, but the calming buzz...ITS ALL THERE, in fact you'll think you are high. AND YOU WILL BE...FOR THE FIRST 15 OR SO MINUTES. This calms me in the most unexpected way. I had a stressful time today, made a cup of this, and it's like it MELTED AWAY ALL MY FRUSTRATIONS, in COOLED ME OFF. I never had a tea or beverage that had this reaction in my life. The closest??? MARYJANE. 🚬 that green MaryJane. Yes the ones hippies smoked. I honestly think, and perhaps I'm pushing the limits, if you have kids (over the age of 5) that are over hyper and have been diagnosed with ADHD by a health professional, you should seriously consider buying this tea, and have them drink one cup. Because this stuff will just RELAX THEM and that head noise (you know what I mean if you suffer from ADHD) its on MUTE. I'm not a health professional, but if you have no problem giving your kids candy, junk food, and soda......AGAIN IF YOUR KID HAS ADHD, SUPER HYPER ONE or even the one that keeps forgetting or losing focus (🙋🏻‍♀️), trade that coca coca or sunny d for this because you will see a change. I wish I would have known about Yerba mate sooner. I'm drinking this stuff for the rest of my life.

This is my favorite and I already purchased it so many times I can’t even count it.
