Bold? Daring? Confident? As Muhammad Ali once said, “It’s not bragging if you can back it up.” And this yerba mate does back their claims up — every part of it feels well-crafted and intentional. Is Kalena Tradicional for everyone? Most likely no — I cannot imagine enjoying its boldness and smokiness as a first time mate drinker, and if you have a low caffeine tolerance Kalena Tradicional will hit you like a truck. But the audience for this yerba is different, and consists of seasoned materos, yerba mate aficionados and people who are not afraid of yerba mate that makes a bold statement, who know that underneath that smokiness and bitterness there is something rich and truly unique, like in a premium cigar or Islay single malt.Andrew
