Cruz de Malta

Classic Argentine Flavor Since 1874
Cruz de Malta is one of Argentina’s most iconic yerba mate brands. In business since 1874, it delivers consistent quality and a flavor profile that has stood the test of time.

Smooth, Bold, and Long-Lasting
This traditional blend features a classic Argentine cut with a balanced mix of stems, leaves, and dust. Larger leaf pieces help the flavor last longer through multiple refills.

Beginner-Friendly and Expert-Approved
Smooth enough for newcomers, yet bold and polished enough to stay in the rotation for seasoned drinkers. This is the yerba mate the Yerba Crew founder drank for about 10 years straight.

Perfect for Stocking Up
Each 500g (1.1 lb) bag yields around 12–13 servings. Grab 2–3 bags to keep your month’s supply ready. No added flavors, just a crisp, leafy, woody taste.

Ingredients & Sourcing
Traditional Argentine yerba mate made by Molinos, a legacy producer since 1874. Features a balanced cut of stems (con palo), leaves, and dust. No added flavors. Not labeled gluten-free, so it may not be suitable for celiac diets.

Weight & Servings
Includes 1 lb (500g) of yerba mate, which yields about 12–13 servings (based on 40g per gourd).

Flavor Profile
Smooth, crisp, and slightly woody with a bold finish. The recent blend includes larger leaves to extend flavor across multiple refills.

Package Info
Packaged weight: 1 lb 1 oz. Dimensions: 3in x 4in x 7.5in. Traditional paper-style bag, not resealable. Store in a cool, dry place for freshness.

Yerba Mate FAQs

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

How long will a bag of yerba mate last me?
If you drink one mate per day (about 35g of yerba), here’s how long each size will last:

  • 1lb of yerba (450 to 500g): 13-14 days
  • 2lbs of yerba (900-1000g): About 28 days
    My personal method? I plan for 2 bags of 1lb yerba per month.

How much caffeine is in yerba mate?
Yerba mate contains approximately 80mg of caffeine per cup, though this can vary depending on how you prepare it. Traditional methods typically yield higher caffeine content compared to mate cocido (tea bag or French press style).

Where should I store yerba mate?
Store your yerba mate in a dark, dry, and cool location, like a kitchen cabinet or pantry.

How do I keep yerba mate fresh?

  • If you're using a Yerba Crew resealable bag, simply close the seal to keep your yerba fresh.
  • If you have a non-resealable bag, store the yerba in a sealable container or use a rubber band to keep it closed.
