That's a great video! I used to drink Canarias but I find it too strong especially because I drink alone. My favourite yerba today is Sara, it's an uruguayan type made in Brazil, it tastes delicious and has the right amount of caffeine for me.
Nice video, but there is a real lack of some good Brazilian Erva Mates (portuguese) on your shelves like: Sabadin (one of the best, if not the best Brazilian Erva Mate), Ximango, (the second best in my opinion), Vier, Laranjeiras, Madrugada, Barão de Cotagipe, Tertúlia, Nutri Mate, 81, Yacuy, Rei Verde and Valério. You should try them all. Brazilian Erva Mate are strong and more "full-bodied", specially the green versions, with a shorter ageing time.
Awesome video, great job describing the different grinds and components (leaves, stem, dust) of yerba. Personally, I drink Taragui Blue (sin palo) as my everyday yerba of choice but the other brands are also great. I'm so glad that you can enjoy it too in the US. Best regards from Argentina! cheers.
Rick's wide selection of brands makes him my favorite yerba mate seller. Just brought Selecta Premium and I love it. Canarias and Taraqui are among my favorites too.
thank you for helping educate the world about this wonderful plant, i myself am a rosamonte especial lover and wanted to help clarify that this one is aged for two years, but you are right about there being no "best yerba" as they all offer something special, i read that all yerba is basically organic since no pesticides are used. salud !
The one you have on the shelf, the one with the horse on it, is the only one I use. Nothing else. It goes down smooth, has great flavor, and is just amazing.
@@gypsyman535 Upon first drinking it, for me, it had a very noticeable energizing effect. Mental clarity, good vibes and general euphoria accompany the sustained energy while drinking it. Highly recommended
Very good video ;-) I recommend anyway, to get La Selva (para nerviosos) there are more variants, which is the most similar in taste to Canarias with all the smoke and flavor but without causing your heart to beat the heck out of your chest :)
Thanks for that! I'm new to mate & loving it very much. I appreciate you sharing the your knowledge & now I know what I'm getting into more. Playadito is the only brand available at my grocery store, but I ordered several different kinds to find out what my favorite is :)
Thank you very much for posting all this explanation about the different brands of Yerba Mate; I believe this is the only video with all the info. about the Mate brands. Thank You!!!!
Great video. I usually use a poro/mate/calabaza, but have recently started using a french press to fill my travel mug in the morning too. I've tried of the brands in the video. I like Taragui because it's soft and complex, Nobleza Gaucha and Rosamontes when I want something stronger. For the first time today I tried La Tranquera, which I really like. Fairly strong, complex, and quite smoky!
Rosamonte Especial is the best one. The full flavor is amazing. I also like Taragui for its much softer flavor. Nobleza Goucha is also good, a little stronger than Taragui (Red).
This is a very late reply. I am posting this comment mostly for new meteros. Rosamonte Especial is the normal Rosamonte but without its intricate smoky nuanced flavor. It is more or less trying to compete with Canarias in terms of flavor.
I just brought Nobleza Gaucha from you. I tried Eco Tea and Guayaki brands. I'm looking for something not too smoky but with a kick. Thanks for the info on Canarias.
Is smoked mate and even unsmoked mate bad for you with PAH's from the process over the fire? I'm worried due to it being possibly cancer causing. I would like a yerba mate that has no contact with smoke from fire.
Which would you recommend for someone who wants to try yurba mate for the first time? I prefer smoother tasting teas generally but am willing to try new things.
Rick, you look like you recorded this from your business. Is it a customer retail shop? If so, where are you located? Great information. I have ordered from your website in the past.
Hi! I wanted to ask if the brazilian Cha mate leão is just roasted yerba mate? I grew up with it as a child but live in europe now and no tea shop seems to have it😢
good! informed! I like Pajarito and Mayo from Paraguay, but here in Europe it is not to easy to find, and expensive, so I use Rosamonte, Taragüi, Piporé, Canarias and Cruz de Malta
Good vid. Could u have subtitles spelling out the brand names? U, and others like me, are English speakers, if the label isnt clear in vid, we may not know what u're saying. Is it "Terragüia" that u're saying? Watched to figure out how to make some Cruz de Malta I bought. Chapala(Tianguis, in Chicago). Dont know if I'll like or not. But why the heck arent u plugging ur place of business?
hello=) greattings from miami i drink mate every day ive been looking for a mate store since forever i only have available in my area cruz de malta and canarias the green and the yellow but where is your store located ill buy some mate from you
@@gypsyman535 You should never let the water boil. Even if you cool it afterwards. Besides that, experiment your own preferred temperature. BTW, it is usual, if you drink Brasiian yerbas like Canarias, to use a specific bombilla, with smaller holes so the leaves wont get stuck in the bombilla.
What is the best way to strain extremely fine dust like particles of Taragui yerba mate (regular blend) when they are not stopped by my tea strainer? The particles are much smaller than EcoTeas brand. Can you please recommend a very strong brand that is unsmoked with larger particles like EcoTeas?
you can put your hand on top of the mate (while still dry) sealing the upper side of the mate and shake it a couple of times it'll take out most of the dust(also quite a bit of flavor...) you'll see the dust stik to your hand
Muchísimos argentinos y uruguayos bebemos grandes cantidades de mate con esas yerbas y no tenemos un indice mayor de enfermedades cancerigenas que UK o USA, por lo tanto eso que leíste no es verdad
hi excuse me . when i drink yerba mate tea bag i feel sick ....want to vomit, like something in my throat .but when i drink green tea i don't feel sick .. do you know why ? thank u

Uruguay no produce yerba mate, lo dice en el video, todos lo escuchamos y siempre lo supimos, pero aún así venís con la fábula uruguaya de "yerba mate uruguaya" 🙄
El mate es de Uruguay Argentina copio a los Uruguayos el estilo de mate amargo con Pitingo y con termo Los argentinos toman el mate dulce en posillos cerámica o vidrio a lo doña María como decimos los Uruguayos o como tomaban las abuelas en Uruguay lLos hombres tomamos amargo y yerba canarias más finas de mejor calidad que las Argentina que son más gruesas con más palo Sldos Uruguay
dolicosefalo pallas disculpa pero te equivocas, primero no copiamos nada, tomamos el mate de mil maneras, al gusto del consumidor, amargo, dulce, terere, con cascara de naranja o limon, o yuyos. cada provincia tiene su estilo pero jamas copiamos nada. y el mate lo tomaban los guaranies que vivian en Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay osea se invento al mismo tiempo en estos paises. y otra cosita, lo tomamos en diferentes tipos de mates, porongo, calabaza, ceramica, en los de lata. y muchos tipos de mates mas, y esto a veces depende de la provincia q estes o en tu gusto. deja de tirar mierda que no sabes nada.

No seas pavo jajaja, el mate ya lo tomaban los Guaranies que habitaban Paraguay, sur de Brasil, Norte de Argentina y parte de uruguay, pero donde mas se consume es en Argentina.

How are the effects of Canarias?

Thanks, Rick for posting this! Though I consider myself a connoisseur, I've got a lot left to learn and thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Thank you Rick for posting this! I just filled up my cart to try some of these!

great content. cheers from brazil.
Thank you so much. I had no idea and now I understand.
Rosamonte Especial is the best one. The full flavor is amazing. I also like Taragui for its much softer flavor. Nobleza Goucha is also good, a little stronger than Taragui (Red).
Taragui despalado is my current favorite and it's 1/4 the price of a similar American branded yerba mate.
This is a very late reply. I am posting this comment mostly for new meteros. Rosamonte Especial is the normal Rosamonte but without its intricate smoky nuanced flavor. It is more or less trying to compete with Canarias in terms of flavor.

Throw that Guayaki away it's junk!!

I've heard Canarias and Rosamonte are bad due to the smoking process (PAH's which are cancer causing)

Canarias la mejor
The correct spelling is "TERA-GU-Í, with an stronger accent on letter "I".
Es TARAGÜÍ, es el nombre guaraní de la provincia de Corrientes, de dónde es originaria esta yerba
🇧🇷🔥
Rosamonte is the best yarba 🧉🧉🧉
hi excuse me . when i drink yerba mate tea bag i feel sick ....want to vomit, like something in my throat .but when i drink green tea i don't feel sick .. do you know why ? thank u
Do you drink a yerba with alot of dust? Maybe try our fresh green yerba on goyerbamate.com
Cruz de Malta makes me nauseous. I think it's the yucky sticks.
Vigo Mortensen use Rosamonte
Ilex Curitibensis
don't be silly, it caused dependence.
i'm from Argentina, i know what i'm saying.
i've been drinking yerba mate (sherr-bah matteh) for about twenty years now and i can't quit it.
Hey man! i have a qustion, does Matteh affect the weight? i think it does and it also make you be weak... what do u think?

nope
Es de los indios Guaranies.
Si en realidad viene de ahí creo si
Jajaja Dios mío
Mejor yerba mate es la Canarias Uruguaya
que no existe, porque la Canarias es Brasilera.
