Isondu Erva Mate 500 g (1,1 lbs)

I bought this soon after Rick introduced it, having never heard of it before.In terms of yerba, I tend to like Paraguayan (Pajarito) the best. The slight sour note is what I am used to and have loved from the beginning. Some Uruguayan (Canarias) and Argentinian (Cruz de Malta) I like as well, but they get less love than Pararito and Campesino.Until I tried this. All I can say is wow - I may have a new favorite.When I start a cup with cold water, I get distinct notes of honey. I can't shake this impression. This will be an incredible yerba for terere come summer.Pretty standard mix of stems, leaves, and dust. Very balanced flavor - the effect, I assume, of the extra aging. Medium duration, and the flavor matures beautifully. Similar to Anna Park, but I like this better. When using hot water, notes of chocolate. Medium caffeine effect. If you are not sensitive to caffeine you could probably drink this in the evening. I hesitate to add more about the flavor because it is subtle and intricate. I daresay you will like the flavor – there is nothing to dislike about this yerba!

This is by far my new favorite Yerba. It has an amazing premium taste to it.

Recommend!

Very good Yerba Mate. This one takes a bit longer for flavor to develop but it's worth the wait. I reallynotice a prominent chocolate taste that I really like. Average caffeine effect. This one's a winner.

Wow.. I thought I knew all yerbas and had clearly what was best or bad but this Yerba has claim up to the podium at the first time I had it.. one of the best out there.
