Yerba Mate Review: Playadito Sin Palo (No Stems)

Playadito is a product of "Cooperativa Liebig," a renowned yerba mate producer that has been in operation since 1926. It is one of the oldest yerba mate producers in Argentina, with nearly 100 years of experience, earning a reputation for producing high-quality yerba mate.

Aroma

The scent is clearly sweet, with hints of candy-like sweetness and a rich syrupy aroma, mixed with a subtle smell of sugarcane.

After-taste

The bitterness and sweetness balance perfectly, leaving a smooth, enjoyable taste with each sip. It's easy to drink and very pleasant.
