- CANARIAS Tradicional is a Uruguayan yerba. This yerba is not for the faint of heart. With a string kick, this yerba would be a hard hitter for new comers.

Just started and my first one I've only had. Earthy bitter grassy. Wonderful nutty almost sweet and nutty but also tree bark like astringent medicinal aftertaste thats really nice. I've been telling people the less subtle main notes are it has the strong bitterness of a Caribbean espresso, and taste like powdered green tea mixed with oregano.
@chaseomb9733 you picked a popular brand to start with, and explained it is so much detail 😄. I am glad you like it and are sharing it with others 👍
Thanks for watching and sharing with us!
Canarias is my favorite so far.
I'm glad you touched on the effects. Most reviewers focus on taste exclusively. They often don't even mention effects. But effects are by far the main thing for me. They are my whole reason for drinking yerba mate.
I wish you would cover effects even more. Both energy and mood. And maybe compare effects across brands, and across different versions within a brand. That would be great.
I very much prefer sin palo. If you read about green tea vs matcha, the powdered form is better for health and you get more out of it. Both the nutrients and the active compounds (like the xanthines) are more available with the powder form. Same with yerba mate.
I notice that Taragui has a sin palo version. I am going to try it too. If you try it or any others, it would be great to hear more about them.
Thank you so much for these comments, @viveviveka2651!!!
I will be posting much more in the future and will certainly do a video on the effects. I, too, believe the best attribute of yerba mate is the mood enhancing, energy, and focus that it provides. (Be sure to check out shorts as I plan to make those too for quick viewing purposes.)
I appreciate you guiding to the health benefits of the powdery yerba. I will look into this more and produce a video about that as well.
Happy drinking, matero 🧉
This was my first Yerba mate i tried 🤣 but i love bitter and earthy things already so i figured I’d go for something that others highly recommend. And despite the fear from all the warnings, i really enjoyed it! (P.s. writing this all down as I’m currently on my fifth refill of it being the first time ever trying Yerba mate 🤣)
@MrNeilgoetze you picked a pretty good yerba for your first if you love bitter earthy tastes. A nice rush comes on after hitting that 5th cycle 😆 🤣. Just curious, what warnings have you heard that made you fearful of yerba mate?
(P.S. love your loop covers. You play and sing well, man!!! New sub here 😃)
@@yerbatravels some people say that it is way too powerful and tastes like an ash tray. I’ve heard people say that beginners should expect to hate their first cup. But i want to get away from energy drinks and coffee. So listening to the benefits of Yerba mate had me hooked.
Also appreciate the sub! I’ll have to get back into doing more covers now 🫣 it’s been a while ha having a kid will do that to ya. You’ve definitely gained a new sub as well! Love your content. It’s been a huge source for me first learning
@MrNeilgoetze appreciate the sub!!! And, I also know how life changes with kids. Got 4 yr. old twins myself 🤪
Glad the page helps! If you ever have questions or suggestions, let me know!
Hi, what are the effects. Would you say mental focus for studying or more physical stimulous?
@@dijasr8487 it’s a totally different effect than anything else. Imagine the best of both worlds. It’s like all the brain fog is gone but also comes with this steady stream of energy that doesn’t come with a crash or jitters.
Agreed definitely not for newbies and the grain taste was a good way to describe it!
Solid score! This yerba is one of my favourites
One thing that I've noticed with Canarias (and possibly even more so with Canarias Edicion Especial - dark green bag) is that it's a very reliable source of energy
I normally go for Canarias when I need that boost of energy to get me through the day 💪🏾
Great review, once again. Salud!
Other than the wet paint smell I agree completely. I've been on canarias intermittently for a decade.
@danmcgeady4614 😆 🤣 😂
I was trying to express that the initial taste was similar to that smell/taste you get after walking into a freshly painted room/area. I have never actually tasted paint 😆
Canarias is a good yerba though. Gives me great energy!
Just found your channel today. Literally just starting my Yerba mate ride. Thanks for the insightful reviews. Talking about taste and feeling and the progression of flavors for each round. Very informative and interesting!!
But honestly I’m mostly commenting for your Kentucky shirt! I lived in Louisville from 2008-2019 and miss that place. Thanks for reminding me of good times!
Well, welcome to the circle. I hope you enjoy your yerba mate journey. I'm glad I could provide you with some insight.
Also, I'm glad to hear from someone has some Bluegrass blood in them lol. Louisville is an amazing city!
@@yerbatravels indeed it is! I’ll be visiting in sept!
Just started today with Playaditos, which is supposed to be a sweeter Mate. I still found it quite bitter as I also don’t drink coffee. After a couple refills and a bit of honey I started enjoying it more and more. Gonna try it again this evening before my workout.
@pc6054 Thanks for sharing!! Much of the bitterness in yerba mate comes from the dust or 'palvo'. Adding sweeteners, especially natural ones like honey, can certainly make consumption more enjoyable :). Let me know what you think of it as a pre-work out drink.
@@yerbatravels just finished my workout and let me tell you. I got a noticeable energy boost after I finished my Mate, not only that but I got an insane pump. Definitely better than the sports drinks I used to drink during my workout.
@@pc6054 Awesome!!! I have been telling people for a while now to use it as a pre and post-workout drink. Thank you for sharing your account. Was it a Playadito yerba mate?
@@yerbatravels Yes it was Playadito. It’s the first and only one I currently own. Had to buy 1kg because the 500g wasn’t available anymore, so I’m set for a while.
@@pc6054 Yes, you are haha. Enjoy it!
I mean Messi is drinking Canarias (traitor, lol) so that alone pumps some popularity. I myself only started yerba journey about 2 weeks ago on first order with Cruz de Malta. Now I ordered, red Rosamonte, yellow Playadito and blue Taragui. After that I'll try red Amanda and I'm very keen to actually try Canarias and purely for the fact that Messi is pumping this one.
Traitor lol! I think Canarias (yellow bag) is great as a recovery drink. Plus the others that you listed are great for morning or anytime really 😁
You have good taste of yerba mate. They are all good,the taragui with out the stems I didn't care for. I would like to try the red bag taragui with the stems. The Canarias is a good morning drink ... The Cruz de Malta is a great one.
@@user-sg1nu6ch3j appreciate the comment! I am about to review the blue Taragui (without stems). Been curious about its flavor for a while now. The red bag is one that I do not care for very much, but loads of people love it! Canarias and Cruz are excellent choices, though 🧉
Hahaha I had to sit on this one for half a year before i could handle it. One of my favorites now.
🤣 Crazy how our tastes for certain items changes over time. Glad you enjoy this one now @vicrattlehead8665
this is leo messi‘s fav drink.
@pm.v2 for good reason! I love this as both a pre & post- workout drink. Plus, you can't go wrong if Messi drinks it 😜😂
@@yerbatravels bc of him, i ordered my first cup and bombilla to drink cruz de malta yerba, so yeah you are right!
@@pm.v2 awesome!!! I hope you are enjoying your new kit 😃. Cruz is also a good yerba 👍
From Nepal. I have been drinking canarias as my first yerba mate.
Ive been experiencing frequent coughing. I try to ignore the fine particles as much as i can.
Is it because of the fine particles of yerba. Does yerba contribute to coughing?
Sorry to hear that.. I am not familiar with yerba causing any coughing. Canarias is a fine cut, and the little leaves certainly do get through the bombilla. Argentine cuts are a bit bigger, and some have very little powder (dust).
Try a larger cut like Playadito or Amanda
I am a beginner to mate pretty much and love this brand compared to Guayaki! My wife and i recently switched to Yerba Mate after drinking coffee for decades. I drink my coffee black and i sought out a mate that packed a punch. This one sure does! The only downside is that this is such a large bag it's going to take a while to finish it off and i want to explore different flavors. It's a shame that there is no variety pack out there.
What other brands would you recommend to a beginner that IS looking for bold and not scared to take a punch?
Happy to hear we have two more materoes in our circle 😁
If you're switching from coffe and like the 'punch', then I would recommend a barbacua style yerba like Isondu barbacua or La Merced. Mate Factor also has a punch to it.
I have heard many people wanting a sample variety pack. Me included. I have a few things in the works and that is one of them. Hopefully we can make it work for you and so many others in the near future.
I was wondering when you would be reviewing that brand. It’s one of my favorites.
Green label coming soon! Have you tried that one?
Yes it’s delicious one of my all time faves
Послевкусие кисленькое, долго проливается раз 7-8 точно, кофеиновая бомба!)
This is definitely a heavy hitter! I believe this is one of the best yerbas for athletes and for recovery as well.
I'm completely new and started 2 weeks ago with canarios. No point with other stuff and no half measures. Go straight for what the pro locals like 😂
🤣 You certainly did jump into the deep end 😆. How's the experience been the past two weeks?
Does it have any smoky flavor to it? I tried Canarias Serena and it had too much smoke flavor for me but i liked Contigo.
I would not say this Canarias has a smokey flavor, but I also wouldn't say the Canarias Serena has a smoky flavor. I believe this is more of a woody/hay taste.
I haven't tried Contigo yet, but it's on my list. What flavor(s) would you say Contigo has?
@yerbatravels I would say contigo has a earthiness with chocolate notes and is a bit of a bready taste as well. It's actually made by the Canarias company I highly recommend trying it out 🙂
@cbb3062 oh, sweet! I will add that to the list and do a review when I get a bag. Thanks for sharing. 🧉
In trying this brand now. So that grain/grassy/powdery is okay to ingest?
Great question! Yes, it is okay to consume that. Most keep it in to a tough of bitterness to their drink while others remove it. If you flip your gourd (cup) and give a good shake you will remove most of the 'dust / powder', so you will not intake much of it.
This is what Messi drinks.
Argentina national team brought 1,100 pounds of Canarias to Qatar lol
Im pretty sure it was the green bag…. Canarias Serena
How taste?
This one has a sweet earthy/grassy taste. Not too bade. Smooth enough to drink every day.
@@yerbatravels cool
Wt size thermo is that?
This thermos holds just under 1L, roughly 750ml.
How much you drink a day?
I typically drink one gourd a day. Do you drink yerba mate?
@@yerbatravels yes of course! I am drinking Taragui original
@@yerbatravels you put full of Gourd, right?
@@caubegiaumat1037 yup!
@@yerbatravels oh , I'm still don't know how to make a mountain in Yerba Mate like you do
This was the first one I tried and it kicked my ass
It can certainly do that 🤣.
What about it kicked your ass? Have you found a different yerba that you enjoy?
@@yerbatravels It was just bad, really bitter and I'm new so I ate a few leaves by accident lol. I am currently drinking cruz de malta
@TheToaster71 this one is definitely a heavy hitter. It can really put you off if you aren't prepared for the bitterness or the small leaves.
I am glad to hear you stuck with yerba mate 🧉😃. Are you enjoying the Cruz?
@@yerbatravels Oh yeah, Cruz is so much better haha. I can actually enjoy mate now
Just ordered my first kilo of Yerba Mate and somehow got the Canarias.. am I doomed?
Not necissarily. While it does pack a punch, it's good for so many things. You may even enjoy the flavor.
@@yerbatravels you’re right.. much more awake for my morning runs!
@@wised903 I think you've found a winner!!
For someone name, "The Hat Man", that is a lousy excuse for a hat. But anyway...
This one is in my top 3 but yes id say for more experienced materos. Having some as i watch this 🧉🔥
@ItalianoDelSud7 hope you enjoyed your Canarias mate! Thanks for watching and commenting 🧉💯
