I bought this to steep a whole pitcher, you have to steep this for a short while to a creamy taste, longer and it becomes bitter. It's very potent, it releases a green color even days after it was first brewed.

good green tea like earthy flavour, gives more energy than coffee that's sustained and less jittery I find
this was great , kept me full and tasted wonderful. I didnt realize it was for a cold beverage, but I used it as a hot tea.
Delicious and good packaging, very fresh. A refreshing ice drink.
It's a little bitter at first but then it gets really tasty. Earthy in flavour with a slight sweetness at the end.
Well I now know what a bambilla is…. Google this kind of tea and you’ll know too. Yerba Mate is a cool alternative to the usual British, Indian, Asian flavor profiles—all of which are great too. These pale gray-green dried leaves make a blend of tea with caffeine, ingredients and benefits you might not usually get. The taste is really different but worth trying. I love the package presentation.
I liked the flavor of this Organic South American Yerba Mate. It tastes refreshing.
This yerba mate has a fresh, earthy flavor that feels very authentic and pure. The quality of the leaves is excellent, and it brews into a smooth, energizing tea without bitterness. I like that it’s organic and comes in a well-sealed tin to keep it fresh. Perfect as a natural alternative to coffee for steady energy. I liked the taste and size.
A bit ovrt priced - but is is certainly good, I prefer a dofferent brand - but I bought this to try it out: I did not appreviate the taste, the quality - I am Not an expert in mate matters.
This tastes really good and the tin is big, with a great amount!
