I am a staunch mate drinker from Argentina. I'm glad that I can finally order Cruz de Malta online at a fair price. Some reviews say that it has too many "sticks," well, this is yerba con palo. It is meant to be for medium-sized mate gourds, and not for tea brewing (for that you want "sin palo"). The reason why I like Cruz de Malta is because it's not has strong as Rosamonte or Taragüí, and I like its mild flavor.
Take a 34 oz. French press, put an inch to 1.5" of mate in it, fill the press with boiling water. Stir and let steep 15-20 min until most of the product settles to the bottom. Put the top on and press down and pour into a one gallon container. Pull press plunger and pour another 1/3 of the way full with hot water, stirring and agitating. Repress and pour off into the gallon container. Then, add local organic honey, approx one cup, and stir until dissolved, Ala "southern sweet tea" style. Then place two standard free service trays of ice cubes in and stir. I take an organic lemon and lime, washed, cut into quarters, and squeezed into the mix, throwing them in as well. Then take 1.5 quarts of organic orange juice and pour it in. Whatever space is left, stir in cold water until it nears the top and stir well.
As a paramedic firefighter who works all hours of the day and night this is what I reach for when I feel fatigued.
I lived in Argentina for a couple years many years ago, and I fell in love with yerba mate at that time. I had gone too many years without mate, and I decided to drink it regularly again. I ordered my favorite brand from many years ago (Cruz de Malta). When I opened the package, the smell brought back so many memories. The flavor is perfect. I really enjoy drinking this again.
It looks like floor dust from carpenter shop. A lot of dust and big wooden chips inside and taste is like tea made from wooden chips. It made me laughing ))). Some pieces of wood are so big and look like real logs. See attached pictures
