Cruz de Malta Traditional Yerba Mate

Cruz de Malta is one of the most widely consumed yerba mate brands in Argentina — this is the mate Argentines drink daily, which means it represents the authentic flavor profile that mate drinkers build a baseline from. The blend is medium-bodied with a balanced earthy and slightly grassy flavor and a clean bitter finish. The cut is traditional Argentine style (stems included, fine cut) which means good extraction from the bombilla without clogging. This is the right first loose-leaf mate for someone coming from canned mate beverages who wants to understand what traditional mate actually tastes like. Not the most complex or refined, but genuinely authentic.
