Review: The best Yerba Mate and speedy ( overnight!) shipping - Yerba mate Cruz de Malta is the BEST Yerba mate period! I have been their loyal costumer since 1997, 27 years…yep! It all started when I moved to live here and I learned that they didn’t sell Yerba mate in the Supermarkets! So I wrote an email to Cruz de Malta in Argentina and asked if there was anyway I could order it directly from them or if they could tell me where to buy it near me. A very nice lady answered my email letting me know that I couldn’t buy it anywhere around my area and that sadly they couldn’t directly ship it to me either. I was so sad to hear that because I couldn’t drink coffee and mate was what I drank every morning. Cruz de Malta team understood how homesick I was feeling not being able to find mate anywhere close to where I reside. But showed me they cared and surprised me with a gift of a large box with yerba mate in the mail 🥹 I was beyond excited and literally felt hugged! From that day forward I understood that Cruz de Malta company is more than a business! See, mate is “shared” with friends and strangers but mate is more than a drink! When we share a mate with someone else we are sharing a moment, living an experience, welcoming someone to our homes, we sometimes even share it with a stranger. Making mate is a ritual! Now about today’s experience, Cruz de Malta did it again through desertcart. Now days I can find Yerba mate near me where I reside and I always buy Cruz de Malta brand. Yesterday, I went out of town and forgot to pack my yerba mate tea although I did pack my gourd and bombilla🧉! I thought what now? I need my morning mate or else I can’t function 😅 So I am a loyal desertcart Prime customer and thought I could probably get yerba mate shipped to the hotel I’m staying and get it in a couple of days. Well, I was blown away by desertcart when at checkout I was offered a next day shipping for a couple of dollars more! I couldn’t believe I was going to be able to drink my morning mate the very next day! ( hours from the time I placed my order) so next morning as I was walking to the hotel cafeteria my yerba mate was delivered! I am beyond thankful for a fast delivery and for being able to still find my favorite and the best yerba mate, Cruz de Malta no matter where I go! Thank you Cruz de Malta and desertcart! The Cruz de Malta yerba mate package was very well wrapped in plastic and taped around to better secure it. About Cruz de Malta yerba mate, I read a few reviews that complained about the “ bitterness” and “dust”, it made me smile, because some people just don’t take the time to learn about something but they just complain about it. I will suggest you Google how to make a good mate first. It is very simple to do. And for those who don’t know about yerba mate brands. Cruz de Malta is a top notch brand since 1874. As I couldn’t put it any better as this part of an online article that I read online that says, …”Cruz de Malta is one of the greatest pleasures of Argentines. It is a herb that believes in the authenticity of taste and quality…” Here are a few tips I found online to help out others that would like to make mate: 🧉💕 Prepare Yerba Mate with a Gourd and Bombilla 1. Fill a yerba mate gourd ⅔ with loose yerba mate. 2. Tap the loose yerba mate to one side to create a pit. 3. Moisten the pit with cool water. 4. Insert a bombilla into the pit. 5. Pour small sips of 150°F water into the pit. 6. Share and enjoy! To these tips I will add, once you poured the water in the mate gourd/cup don’t let the mate sit there because it’s going to get bitter. Sip it as soon as you pour it! For the first mate, start with a little bit of cold water and then add the hot water but sip it right away and remember the water doesn’t have to boil. The first couple of mates are not the good ones 😅 we called the first mate the fool mate or something like that! Yerba mate is a very healthy choice full of polyphenols, antioxidants, enjoy and explore different variations, drinking it hot ( mate) or drinking it cold ( Terere) adding mint leaves, lemon, orange peels, honey, the sky is the limit! I hope my honest review helps bring some clarity to someone that is looking for a great yerba mate brand to make a good choice. Cruz de Malta is a great, “suave” ( light) mate brand and the good flavor last till the last mate. Give it a try! 🧉💞

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the regular package and the package that says "Sin Capas Plasticas" at the top?**
A: It's a packaging gimmick. Nothing to make any difference in taste."Con Palo" means it's manufactured with the plant's stems. Which is very common. It doesn't make it any lesser quality. If you drink mate with bombilla then "con palo" helps the bombilla from clogging. For teas, if you're going to steep the mate, then sin palo would make more sense.There is a difference in taste between the "con palo" o "sin palo" but it's a matter of taste, not quality.Sin palo will cost more due to the process cost of removing the stems.Hope this helps.I had bought 1/2 of cruz de Malta for $11 from amazon. But I found my local Mexican market, and just bought a kilo for $12, so try your local Latin market if there's one around.

**Q: does this contain caffine?**
A: Debatable. It is known that Maté contains Theobromine an interesting compound. Overheating it changes it to caffeine. If you cannot drink your Maté immediately after pouring in the "hot" water you're probably drinking a more caffeinated form of Maté.

There are studies about Maté stating that when consumed the central nervous system is boosted without the cardio system boost. Caffeine is in stark contrast to this.

**Q: Is your yerba mate organic?**
A: It doesn't need to be. Organics can be worse than non organic. 
Anything that is organic can be used as a pesticide. These can be very bad for you, as you know, many toxins and poisons exist in nature. 
Don't let that deter you from this product, it's the one of the best Ilex Paraguariensis teas you'll find.

**Q: Does the product you received seem fresh? I know, with mate it can be hard to tell. Is there a freshness date on the package?**
A: Never bothered to look for freshness dates. It has always been (Cruz De Malta) best quality and I do not believe mate can get stale.
