Yerba mate tea Campesino Katuava con Ginseng

Right after opening the packet, you feel a subtle citrusy aroma. Only after a moment, you realize that this aroma is characteristic of ginseng. It is definitely pleasant and rather dominates the natural aroma of yerba mate tea. This product contains a large amount of dust and twigs.

The aroma of yerba mate becomes stronger after pouring it with water - it may remind of candies or tea with lemon but there are no artificial flavours. The taste of this product is rather specific and hard to describe. Probably most people who have tried many Paraguayan yerba mate teas, are used to strong, smoky and intense mate.

In this case, the taste is intense but not like typical Paraguayan yerba at all. It’s not bitter or smoky. We think that even beginners, who tend to hate typical Paraguayan style, would love it. The bitterness is better felt after several water refills. You can feel a bit of bitterness and refreshment - it is thanks to lemon verbena that is similar to mint. We recommend it to all fans of herbal blends!

Yerba mate in this product is dominated by the additives that we will introduce shortly. The blend of herbs in Campesino Katuava con Ginseng tastes a bit like earl grey tea and the bergamot. It also brings to mind honey with lemon and ginseng. Probably everyone who tries this one has their own associations.

On the packet, there is the following information: Yerba mate compuesta con hierbas y saborizada industria Paraguaya. It means that this yerba mate is flavoured. For some people, these flavours may turn out to be too strong and, as a result, they can be considered artificial.

This product contains lemon verbena, ginseng, katuava, mint essence and lemon verbena essence.
