    Rosamonte yerba mate

    Rosamonte yerba mate is a long-standing favorite yerba, aged for 12 months, and known for its stronger flavor. Rosamonte has been evaluated and recommended by the Cardiology Association of Argentina. Cardiology Association Report

    Recommend for: Rosamonte is great for people looking for yerba that carries a bigger punch. I'd recommend this for more seasoned yerba drinkers.

    Characteristics:
    Rosamonte Traditional is con palo (with stems), but it departs from the typical Argentina cut. It’s considered fairly dusty, but also includes large leaves and thick stems in between. This more coarse blend with plenty of dust gives the yerba mate a bold taste. It also goes through a 12-month aging process which turns it a gray-green color. For many, Rosamonte Traditional hits the right balance of interesting and traditional. 

    Added Flavors:
    Rosamonte Traditional is the classic variety from this brand, so you won’t find any special added flavors. However, they use a “barbacua” method, which involves drying the yerba mate over an open fire (hence the name). This unique process gives it that quintessential smoky taste. Besides this smoky aspect, there aren’t any other notable flavors.

    About Rosamonte Yerba Mate

    Rosamonte is a popular yerba mate brand based in Apóstoles in the Misiones province of Argentina. This family-run business has beautiful grounds where they both harvest and package yerba mate. Rosamonte offers a range of products, including Traditional, Mild, Premium, Despalada (Without Stems) and Tereré. They also offer these varieties with Special Selection yerba mate. All of their yerba mate is aged for 12-24 months after undergoing open-fire drying and natural seasoning.

    Rosamonte was founded in 1936 by Mr. Demetrio Hreñuk, the son of Ukrainian immigrants. Together with his wife Catalina, they started planting and harvesting yerba mate fields. Exactly thirty years later, in 1966, they took on the full yerba mate process, including grinding and marketing. In recent decades, they have expanded and diversified their activities to include tea, fish, cattle, forestry and packing. From its humble beginnings, Rosamonte has become one of the largest yerba mate producers in Argentina.

    Rosamonte stands out from other yerba mate brands in several key ways. First, their drying process is unique. They use a trademarked “barbacua” method that exposes the yerba to the heat of an open fire. This process gives Rosemonte yerba mate the interesting smoky flavor that it’s known for. In addition, their long experience in the yerba mate market makes them a reference nationally and internationally.  

    Beyond their products, Rosamonte is celebrated for their innovation in processing and packaging. They were the first yerba mate company to get the Rainforest Alliance certification, which credits them for using sustainable agricultural methods and applauds their environmental commitment. In addition, their new zipper yerba mate packaging received a national prize from the Instituto Argentino del Envase. 

    Today, Rosamonte is a family-style business that fits the modern needs of a global market. You can learn more about them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

    When does the yerba mate expire? All the yerba we ship has at least 12 months of shelf life before it expires.

    How long will this last me? If you drink one mate per day (about 40g of yerba), 500g of yerba will last you about 12 and a half days and 1000g is about 25 days. My method is to plan for 2 bags of 1kg yerba per month.

    How much caffeine is in yerba mate? About 80mg of caffeine per cup however the amount varies based on whether you are drinking using traditional or mate cocido prep methods.

    Where should I store yerba mate?
    Store in a dark, dry, and cool location like inside a cabinet.

    How do I keep the yerba mate fresh?
