"I switched "cold turkey" from 4-6 cups of coffee a day to 4-6 yerba cups. It got rid of multiple problems caused by coffee including but not limited to jitters and trouble sleeping. All for a fraction of the price of coffee. I always found Nativa yerba to be of premium quality. We order 6 x 2 lbs bulk (price and shipment is convenient) since my wife and I drink Yerba daily and we use about a bag per month. I love the press/filter mug since I throw my yerba and hot water in a thermos for a day supply at work and don't have to worry about filtering."

"Drinking Yerba Mate always brings a smile to my face. Not only does it bring a boost of energy, it somehow increases my sense of optimism. In fact, sometimes after having had a cup or two I spontaneously burst into song! It's much better than coffee as a stimulant, though the smell of either one brewing is sheer bliss. One day I experimented by putting Mate into my espresso maker--the greenish-brown liquid it made packed more of a jolt than a wall outlet! I felt sure I could fly. Great stuff!"

"I read about the plant in an article in Men's Fitness magazine. I am quite active in cycling and running, and was tired of the negative effects when drinking coffee. I decided just recently to give Nativa yerba mate a try. WOW, it was just as the article explained, increased vigor and better recovery. I prepare it with distilled water in a French Press and add a touch of honey."

"I have MS and was taking ginseng for fatigue. I have switched to Mate (in the french press-mate style is a bit too strong) several times a day and am able to maintain a good energy level throughout the day."

"I love your product, how I get it and that it has made such a difference to my quality of life. I had to stop drinking coffee. Mate has been a wonderful reasonably priced alternative to coffee. Each day I have a few cups from the french press that used to make my coffee. I don't miss it and enjoy the easy natural stimulant that Yerba Mate is over coffee."

"A customer of mine from Argentina introduced me to yerba mate when she traded me a bombilla and samples of it for a specially designed Yerba Mate cup. I loved the ritual of preparing it and using the bombilla and, of course, the taste. I drink Yerba Mate instead of snacking. I feel great and recommend it to all my friends."

"Being raised in a south american family, mate has been always a traditional thing for me. I always put a small piece of orange peel in it to give it a special taste, try it, you'll love it."
