For the mate connoisseur. Ganas Aged is organic loose leaf yerba mate, aged in a cool, dry environment for up to three years. It's always air dried, never smoked, and just 100% organic leaves.
Like a fine wine, aging lets the mate mature slowly, bringing out a smooth, earthy body with a slight sweetness.
Ganas Aged is excellent drunk traditionally from a gourd with a bombilla or brewed in a French press. It's also excellent as cold brew in the hot summer months.
Yerba mate naturally contains caffeine (roughly 90–150 mg per 12 oz serving, depending on how it's prepared) along with theobromine, theophylline, potassium, magnesium and polyphenols. That's a steady, coffee-strength lift that many coffee drinkers love switching to.
How to brew
French press: add yerba, pour hot (not boiling) water, steep a few minutes and press.
Tea ball or infuser: fill with yerba, steep in hot water, and adjust strength to taste.
Coffee maker: brew it just like ground coffee.
Cold brew: soak in room-temperature or cool water for 12–24 hours, then strain.
