Amanda Yerba Mate is a yerba you can always rely on. Compared to other brands like Taragui and Rosamonte, which are both smoked and have an overbearing taste, Amanda is like a breath of fresh air. With a harmonious balance of bitterness and sweetness throughout the entire gourd, Amanda is extremely pleasant while still packing a punch. Heavy earth, soil taste but super smooth. Milky texture and flavor. A bit of mushroom and woodsy notes.

Only after several refills, do I start to notice the strength die down. And even then, it dies down slowly. Throughout the entire cycle, it stays pretty linear. Nothing complex about it. Coming with stems, leaves, and dust makes this the classic Argentine cut. A very strong blast of energy from the start gets you on your feet. Not too much, though. You won’t be jumpy. But your tiredness and groggy feeling will disappear. You’ll feel light on your feet and ready to move.

La Tranquera is a traditional yerba mate variety con palos (with stems). The stems in this yerba mate are typically large and white. In addition, the leaves are large cut. However, a balance is achieved with a sizeable amount of dust. The balance of stems, leaves and dust gives this yerba mate a nice green color.

La Tranquera yerba mate isn’t for the faint of heart, as the flavor is bolder than other Argentine varieties. However, it has a robust flavor with earthy notes. (There’s no smoky flavor in this yerba mate.) It also has a fresh aftertaste. There’s nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to this variety.

La Tranquera is also known as a long-lasting yerba mate, so it’s great for focusing on your studies or work. If you need a pick-me-up in the afternoon, this yerba mate should be your go-to.

Liebig (Playadito) Original is a very delicate yerba mate that requires a very low (for hot mate) temperature to really shine. I experimented a lot with different temperatures for this mate and came to conclusion that the best water to prepare Liebig is somewhere in range between 55°C to 60°C / 130°F to 140°F. Such low temperature will not burn off the intricate flavors of this mate, but on the flip side you’ll need to steep it a bit inside a gourd for probably around 15-20 seconds. The reason is simple — lower temperature water needs more time to extract flavours from the yerba. I recommend you to use this information as a starting point and experiment yourself to try and find the balance between water temperature and steeping time that would yield in the mate that you enjoy the most.
