Next time someone posts about free Yerba, do it. - Hugo Yerba Mate review

Alright, so I’m a total beginner, but have some experience with reviewing whiskey and mead/wine, so here goes!

A week or two ago (idk when tbh) I saw a post talking about free Yerba on this sub and thought I’d give it a shot. Some people suspected a scam, but for some reason I didn’t, so a fella gave me a code for a free order of Yerba via DMs in exchange for an honest review.

The Hugo site had a few blends, but I went with the traditional since I’ve only drank Yerba (traditionally) a few times with a friend, although the coconut one looks pretty damn good, who knows, after this bag I may grab some. The prices were a tad steep, but not bad really, considering legit South American Yerba is hard to find near me, so it’s a win!

The tea itself isn’t too dusty and isn’t too “stick-y”?, a balanced ground. The aroma is very fresh and earthy, kind of a nutty tinge that you’d get from a bottle bookers/bakers lol, nice

The taste is strong, yet very smooth, hell, my wife even liked it! Nutty, earthy, fresh, woody, tobacco.

I’ve been sippin this for a few days and don’t really have any constructive feedback. Maybe a different bag would be cool, the zip lock broke and I had to store it in a different bag. Overall, I’m happy with it. I’m so happy I saw that post, and thank you Hugo!!

Overall: 8.3/10, nice stuff brother!
