Sara “Extra Suave” yerba mate

Smooth and Lighter Than Traditional
Sara “Extra Suave” is the milder version of the classic Sara Traditional yerba mate. With a softer taste and lower intensity, it’s perfect for those who want a smooth, steady drinking experience without the punch of stronger blends.

Respected Since 1918
Sara has been a trusted name in the yerba mate world for over 100 years. This lighter blend honors that tradition while offering a more approachable flavor for daily drinking.

Uruguayan Style, Slightly Softer
This is a fine-cut yerba mate in the Uruguayan style, but with stems included. The stems mellow out the flavor and reduce bitterness, creating a more balanced and easy-drinking brew.

Ideal for Smooth-Mate Seekers
A great option for experienced drinkers who enjoy Uruguayan-style yerba but want something with a little less strength. If you’re easing into stronger styles, this is a smart middle ground.

Ingredients & Sourcing
Fine-cut yerba mate with stems, grown in Brazil and styled for the Uruguayan market. The inclusion of stems balances the strong leaf content, delivering a smooth, lighter flavor. Naturally gluten-free and free of added flavors.

Weight & Servings
Each bag contains 1.1 lbs (500g) of yerba mate, yielding approximately 12.5 servings (based on 40g per gourd).

Flavor Profile
Clean, mellow, and slightly grassy with a fine powdery body. Less intense than traditional Uruguayan yerba, but still provides a satisfying and long-lasting drink.

Package Info
Packaged weight: 1 lb 1 oz. Dimensions: 4.0 in x 2.75 in x 6.2 in. Traditional paper-style bag. Store in a cool, dry place.

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).

Store your yerba mate in a dark, dry, and cool location, like a kitchen cabinet or pantry.
