Yerba Mate sin Palo Loose no Stems by Canarias has a dry, smoky, intense bitter flavor and an almost creamy texture, all of which is retained through several refills before becoming lavado (washed). This sin palo yerba mate has been aged for 4 to 6 months in a temperature and humidity controlled environment to ensure a consistent quality between each batch.
