Erva Mate La Merced De Monte 500 g (1,1 lbs)

Premium taste, premium cut.

La Merced never disappoints. Superb quality

I enjoy a good smoked yerba mate. Very tasty.

This is one of my favorites I keep in regular rotation. When I want something on the more bitter less mellow side. I gotta say when I was new to Yerba I disliked this and pushed it to the back of my cabinet, but now it's right up front since my palate has developed.

Many people spoke very highly of this mate, of its potency and strength. And while it's a fine everyday mate, I did not have that experience at all. I found it to be rather bland, with just a hint of sourness and bitterness. Still, it's a fine everyday mate, on par with Rosamonte or such.

A hearty, spirited Yerba Mate without question. Provides a full, lasting experience with strong effects. This one probably not suitable for beginners. De Campo is much friendlier for starters: soft & smooth, less astringent, less potent effects.

One of the best selections I have found so far in the world of yerba mate. It has a smooth and strong flavor and in my experience, it holds that flavor well through multiple rounds of steeping. Highly recommend.

Love this. A bit stronger, more robust, and bitter than De Campo. Made for hardy mountain people. Excellent flavor and grind.

Strong mate, very flavorful, not smoked, lots of leaf, low dust, minor amount of stems, a high quality mate

The more I drink mate, the more my tastes are going for a stronger, more intense flavor. Less and less I like the soft or mellow flavors. De Monte has a wonderful, full flavor, and easily lasts me through a full liter of water. If you want a stronger yerba, I highly recommend this.

I find this one with a taste similar to Yerba Union (Suave) original, though with a pleasant (less subtle) bitterness and a more homogeneous grind (molienda). To my taste, it is a couple of notches better than La Merced de Campo.

This mate is amargo in the best way -- it's bold and thick and always makes my day. I've tried many others but keep coming back to this one.
