Guayaki Yerba Mate, straight from the Gourd, a review.

In order to truly enjoy yerba mate, one needs to drink it the traditional way? straight from the gourd. Guayaki has a nice and simple way to make this come into fruition for you by way of a Gift Pack. The Gift Pack contains a traditional artisan gourd, stainless steel bombilla, 6 ounces of Guayaki Yerba Mate and instructions for curing, caring for and packing your gourd. If the instructions aren?t enough, check out the video on how to pack your gourd.

I enjoyed my mate last week. The taste is chocolaty, rich, coffee-esque and earthy. The gourd I am currently using is not large, about the size of a large apple, hence refilling the gourd with water is essential. I was able to get about 7 cups of mate until the flavor faded away and turned into a stale tea rather than a yerba mate.

The effects of yerba mate far surpass any other natural beverage. There is a minimal amount of caffeine, it?s proven to induce mental clarity, aid in weight control, fights bad breath and contain may antioxidants.

After consuming yerba mate from my fancy gourd, I felt energetic, but more important free of my normal seasonal allergies.

Yerba Mate is not a new beverage, in fact, it?s the opposite, just ask an Argentinian, but it?s gaining popularity in America and world wide. Go drink a cup for yourself and you can see why.
