It is honest and simple, not promising too much while also not failing to meet ones expectations. Piporé Tereré may be too simple to be interesting on its own, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Tereré is about experimenting with fun summer flavors, juices and herbs, and this yerba mate seems to align well with that philosophy — be a humble yerba that does not pull a blanket over itself and allows other flavors to shine instead, while still providing benefits of yerba mate and subtle earthy tones that we love so much. Without the additives though, you may be disappointed with its lack of character.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/colon/colon-tradicional/Thu, 28 Sep 2023 19:00:00 +0300https://matexperience.com/reviews/colon/colon-tradicional/There is something about yerba mates like Colon Tradicional that make me appreciate this drink more and more. At first glance, it is one of those popular staple Paraguayan yerba mates like Pajarito, Kurupí or Selecta that will not offer anything special, but as soon as you drink it for the first time you realize how it’s simultaneously similar to those other Paraguayan yerbas, and so different and authentic in its own way. The smell and taste of Colon Tradicional are unarguably unique and at the same time lie within the expected Paraguayan flavor profile. Great both as tereré and hot mate, Colon Tradicional will definitely satisfy seasoned materos, especially those who enjoy yerba mate from this country, by bringing something new to the table. I wholeheartedly do not recommend you to skip this one.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/selecta/selecta-premium/Wed, 26 Jul 2023 23:00:00 +0300https://matexperience.com/reviews/selecta/selecta-premium/After having such a positive experience with Selecta Tradicional, I expected nothing less from Selecta Premium. I am happy to say that it not only matched, but exceeded my expectations in pretty much every area. Heavy smokiness may not be everyone’s cup of tea (or should I say mate cocido), but if you enjoy barbacuá yerbas, you will absolutely love Selecta Premium, maybe even more than its traditional sister. Still great with both hot and cold water, still exhibiting some Argentine qualities despite being Paraguayan yerba mate, Selecta Premium is an absolute must-try even if you’re not a tereré drinker but consider yourself a mate aficionado.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/taragui/taragui-maracuya/Tue, 12 Jul 2022 18:00:00 +0300https://matexperience.com/reviews/taragui/taragui-maracuya/Light and sweet, no matter if you prepare it as hot mate or cold tereré, Taragüi Maracuyá can be a great first stepping stone to those materos who started off with traditional Argentine yerba mate and want to see what’s all the fuss is with tereré. It can also be a no-nonsense mate for those who want to get all the benefits and effects of yerba, served in a drink that almost tastes like a fruit juice. For that reason, it also may be a perfect introduction mate for your children, who will definitely enjoy the taste of passion fruit and orange, but will still get an idea of what the actual yerba mate tastes like.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/pajarito/pajarito-seleccion-especial/Tue, 28 Jun 2022 12:00:00 +0300https://matexperience.com/reviews/pajarito/pajarito-seleccion-especial/A great improvement in pretty much all the areas over the regular Pajarito Tradicional, this yerba is everything you would want from a Paraguayan mate and more. It is not simply OK with hot water, as some yerbas from this country, it actually makes a wonderfully delicious hot mate, in addition to the complex and beautifully bitter tereré. If you don’t care about cold brewed mate and thus avoid Paraguayan yerbas, think twice — Pajarito Selección Especial can and will pleasantly surprise you.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/cbse/cbse-guarana/Tue, 17 May 2022 20:00:00 +0300https://matexperience.com/reviews/cbse/cbse-guarana/Having such a beautiful smell and possibility to prepare it with cold water, CBSé Guaraná feels like it promised too much and then underdelivered in almost every category. With such a flashy and pretty package, with what you experience when you first open the bag, I can’t help but say it again — don’t judge the book by its cover, in both ways.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/meta-mate/meta-mate-23/Tue, 21 Sep 2021 21:55:33 +0300https://matexperience.com/reviews/meta-mate/meta-mate-23/There is nothing ordinary or conventional about Meta Mate 23, starting from a quite unusual name, and ending with a rare and unique cut and taste. I do not just respect it; I love it — this yerba mate is a great showcase of why it’s crucial for the yerba mate industry to experiment and sometimes to break away from mundane traditions. 23 is considered an auspicious number and is a code for those who believe there are no coincidences. Don’t just take my word for it — try it for yourself and see how deep this rabbit hole goes.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/la-rubia/la-rubia-organica/Fri, 12 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://matexperience.com/reviews/la-rubia/la-rubia-organica/Complex, organic and quite rare — La Rubia Organica instantly shows that it is not going to be as vanilla as the most of the mass-produced yerba mates out there. It is not afraid to be rough with you, packing some seriously bold smoky tobaccoey flavors and huge amounts of energy. A wild but elegant beast, La Rubia Organica needs to be tamed to appreciate its beauty — an adventure that you might not want to go on daily, but always exciting to make you want more.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/sinceridad/sinceridad-naranja/Fri, 29 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://matexperience.com/reviews/sinceridad/sinceridad-naranja/A great example of what flavored yerba mate should be like — fun and friendly enough to appease novice materos, but not too overloaded with flavoring to repulse more conservative drinkers. Do not overlook Sinceridad Naranja if you are opposed to a thought of flavored yerba mate — I bet it can pleasantly surprise you and prove that flavored mate can actually be pretty good and satisfying, whether you like it hot or cold.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/cruz-de-malta/cruz-de-malta-boldo-menta/Sun, 21 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://matexperience.com/reviews/cruz-de-malta/cruz-de-malta-boldo-menta/This yerba mate has some big shoes to fill — Cruz de Malta is a highly popular and respectable brand in the mate world. It inevitably will be compared to their flagship, Cruz de Malta Tradicional, but it is a whole different yerba mate that I dare you to approach with an open and clean mind. It is different from its traditional brother and almost feels more Paraguayan than Argentine, and can serve as an interesting break from regular mates, especially in the hot summer days — flavored with mint and boldo, this yerba is great for both hot mate and cold tereré.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/pajarito/pajarito-tradicional/Mon, 15 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://matexperience.com/reviews/pajarito/pajarito-tradicional/In Pajarito Tradicional you’ll find a yerba mate that despite being bold and strong, as you would expect from Paraguayan yerba, is not afraid of hot water, and is versatile in that sense. Do not judge this book by its cover — despite the dull smell this mate packs some nice flavors both in cold and hot versions. Or should I say booklet, keeping in mind how short lasted this mate?Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/selecta/selecta-tradicional/Sun, 14 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://matexperience.com/reviews/selecta/selecta-tradicional/Dual nature is what makes Selecta Tradicional so unique — it shares characteristics of both Paraguayan and Argentine yerba mate. Despite being pretty good as a tereré, Selecta Tradicional is one of those rare Paraguayan brands that is probably even better with hot water. If you have never had a Paraguayan mate and want to start exploring Paraguayan brands — this could be your perfect candidate.Andrewhttps://matexperience.com/reviews/kurupi/kurupi-clasica/Sat, 06 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://matexperience.com/reviews/kurupi/kurupi-clasica/One of the best Paraguayan yerba mate brands on the market, Kurupí Clásica is a very versatile mate that is great both as hot mate and tereré. Sweet and refreshing with cold water; oaky and whiskey-like with hot water, this yerba mate will suit people who want to start exploring Paraguayan yerbas, and will be interesting enough for long-term mate drinkers.Andrew
