A Cut Above
Guayaki Yerba Mate has the typical “Paraguayan” cut.  In Uruguay, you will find that they prefer their mate cut to have even more powder.  In Argentina, you will find the preferred cut is void of both powder and stems.  In our years of research drinking mate in tea bags, through a French press, in a gourd or guampa, we have found that the Paraguayan cut delivers the smoothest balance of flavor.

Imparting the sweet nutty profile from the stem content balanced with the strength of the additional surface area from the powder, you have a full bodied mate with several characteristic layers of flavor.  We like to consider the cut as a sort of “whole herb” approach, understanding that the stems add their own distinct function, and indeed carry an additional nutritional profile to the mate. 

When packing a gourd, gently shaking the mate with a tilt allows the stems to rise, and the powder to drop.  After inserting the bombilla, the gourd is tilted upright allowing the larger stems and leaf to surround the bombilla, and thus creating an additional “filter” layer that assists in keeping out the fine sediment.  Without the powder, the mate needs additional time to impart its full flavor.  With the powder, you get balanced flavor from the start, with the leaves and stem assisting in carrying the balanced flavor throughout the duration of the mate drinking session.
