Meta Mate Fine Cut Review

A somewhat in depth review of Meta Mate Fine Cut "Gourmet Yerba-Mate" from Project Mate Bar.  They were gracious enough to send me a small sample to try that was harvested in February 2013, only 2 months prior to this review.  Thank you Project Mate Bar!  The yerba mate or erva mate is "harvested from the primeval forests deep in the south of Brazil" and produced sustainably without electricity.  The flavor is very "smokey" as it is roasted in the tradition of the Guarani tribe with wood from the same area from which the yerba is harvested.

I definitely can recommend giving the mate a try.  However, due to small scale production, fair trade, and sustainable practices it is a fairly pricey yerba.  That said, it can be enjoyed using a strainer, french press, or other method to make the yerba last longer rather than drinking directly from a gourd.  Peace!
