Santa Catarina Organic Fresh Green Yerba Mate 500g (1.1 lbs)

Initially I was wary about buying this thermos due to the mixed reviews seen here and elsewhere that make comments about difficulty of use and the yerba washing out too quickly. I have no complaints. I watched the video on how to use but found no issues in drawing water because there is a tiny hole near the straw that lets air in (maybe older models did not have that feature?). The cup only fills with about half the amount of yerba that would go into a traditional gourd. I fill it up in the morning and then while on my lunch break at work I refill it with fresh yerba and therefore consume the same amount that I normally would at home with a gourd. I generally refill the the thermos twice. I prefer softer yerba mates and while there does seem to be a sharper drop in intensity of flavor compared to a traditional gourd session I do still find it to be very enjoyable and very much worth the convenience and portability.

This is good Yerba. Smooth rich flavor. I will get it again

Works well. Bombilla feels a little short but that’s offset by folding. Love the silicone wrap at hand height. Fits properly in cup holder.

I’ve watched the videos and figured out how to use it. Following the advice, it’s been a breeze! The quality is amazing. I’m definitely recommending it to my friends.

Love this mate. Very little dust and amazing flavors
