How to Purchase Yerba Mate
Some retailers try to increase the perceived value of yerba mate to gain the most profits from their sales. For example web sites and retail stores in the US would like their customers to believe that Yerba Mate is a rare herb found only in the jungles of South America by native Indians. The fact is that yerba mate is a large commodity with over 300 brands and hundreds of producers and thousands of growers. The characteristics of each brand can vary greatly due to the plant, the processing, the stationing, the leaf cut, the stems, and the amount of smoke used.
A kilogram (2.2lbs) of yerba mate will sell on the store shelves of South America for about $1. Organic yerba mate is produced mostly for export. The export prices of yerba mate are going up due to the exchange rates and increased demand but not enough to justify most of the high prices we see on the market today. Here is an example, note that these prices are for 2oz. Tevana
The best yerba mate to buy is one that is reasonably priced and that you enjoy drinking. The more you like it the more you will drink and the more you will benefit. Experiment to find the best brand and the best brewing technique.
