I have to admit I drink Yerbe Mate for the health benefits - with so much caffeine it is very good as a boost and helps if you are fasting or eating light. It has so many health benefits and great nutrition. I am a big fan of the Tao of tea and have maybe 50 of their product range including all the Yerbe Mate's ............ but my favourite of all yerbe Mates has to be the Mate Factor organic Green Yerbe Mate which is just so fresh. But I think each of the Tao of Tao Yerbe Mates have different tastes and personalities so I try and appreciate them all and enjoy a different one each day.

Great packaging, I gave this as a gift. Good quality tea
This tea reminds me when I was in Brazil , so good taste high quality
The delivery service was outstanding! My package arrived on time and in perfect condition. The packaging was very secure, protecting the contents during transit. I also received timely updates about my order, which kept me reassured throughout the process. The delivery staff was professional, courteous, and made sure everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate the attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. It’s clear that the company values its customers. I will definitely be ordering again with full confidence.
Lasts a really long time. The container seals it well too.
My favourite Yerba mate on iHerb. The taste is amazing and does not need any additions to the tea. Tastes great hot or cold
First time having this tea, herb sweet taste. I drink it during my long fasting and it reduced the hunger. I believe because of the vitamins relief the stress of the body.
The quality of this tea is excellent and the packaging is really nice. I hadn't tried mate before so I took advantage of a sale to give it a try. I find it a little fussy to make, and I guess I prefer my other hot beverages more. It is nice with half and half, but we are trying to cut back on dairy and I don't like it much with soy milk. If you already love mate, this is an excellent choice
Nice flavour but a bit more subtle than some other mate's I have tried. Make sure you steep it for at least 4 minutes.
I wouldn't say the taste is that great but it is definitely good and interesting, something different for a regular mate drinker. It can be that this kind of mate that has a bitter cocoa-kind of taste -- a bit closer to coffee -- can be the way for coffee drinkers to the world of yerba mate if they find the green mate too bitter, green or otherwise strange. I will also try this when brewed in a regular tea cup in a sieve and add milk.
