“For those of you who’ve had mate, especially the traditional way in a gourd with a bombilla, you will find this to be very interesting. Traditional mate looks very much like the tea you find in...” Read full tasting note
This winter a former Peace Corps volunteer stopped by with a novel idea: to make Yerba Mate using traditional tea methods. So he works with the local people of Paraguay to choose just the buds (like the best teas) of the plant. Then he uses the tea techniques to make a wonderful brew. Unlike most Yerba Mate, which makes a light, astringent beverage, these Mate Buds taste lovely. There is nice body (mouthfeel) and delicious dark fruit aromas and flavors. This is a unique beverage, so be one of the first to try it.
