EXCELLENT UNSMOKED ORGANIC CERTIFIED YERBA MATE! SOFT & TASTY
“PORONGO” is an organic certified yerba mate created and developed by Argentine publicist Carlos Bayala. Carlos Bayala partnered with the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), came to lead Nike Soccer worldwide, created the NEW agency, anticipated the outcome of the plebiscite on the 2016 peace agreements in Colombia, works for NASA and now launches “Porongo”, his own organic yerba mate.
“PORONGO” is a yerba mate with a long lasting flavor, very fresh, with a slightly bitter finish. It reminds somehow older and great versions of argentine organic brands (“jesper” & “Mision Natural”) back in 2001 – 2003. It is perfect for those who love soft unsmoked yerbas with character. An excellent choice for starters and advanced mate drinkers.

We encourage you to play around with this fun and healthy habit –
YERBA MATE CHARACTERISTICS
Production: This ia an organic yerba mate. Organic teas have no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Also, they do not have artificial flavors or ingredients of any kind. The packaging material that is used with the organic teas is also organic, as the paper that is used is recycled and biodegradable and the ink is water based.
Origins: Produced by a small and independent producer in Misiones, the land of the Yerba Mate.
Aging: Usually the aging process for the organic teas are longer than the regular therefore the flavor and aroma is better. It also makes the yerba mate less acidic.

I bought this based on the various 5 star reviews, and unfortunately I struggled mightily to get any flavor out of it. I tried temperatures ranging from 162 – 170, and nothing seemed to work. I like a range of styles, but tend to shy away from very heavily smoked ones.

My husband has been drinking mate for 40 years, and myself 20. We really like this as our second choice when we want a change from our usual. This is a great strong mate with flavor that lasts. It’s only a second choice because we are accustomed to another.

I have been drinking mate for several years and was looking for an interesting new organic choice. I tried Porongo a year ago and it has become one of my top choices. Long lasting flavor.
