Nothing to make any difference in taste."Con Palo" means it's manufactured with the plant's stems. Which is very common. It doesn't make it any lesser quality. If you drink mate with bombilla then "con palo" helps the bombilla from clogging. For teas, if you're going to steep the mate, then sin palo would make more sense.There is a difference in taste between the "con palo" o "sin palo" but it's a matter of taste, not quality.Sin palo will cost more due to the process cost of removing the stems.Hope this helps.I had bought 1/2 of cruz de Malta for $11 from amazon. But I found my local Mexican market, and just bought a kilo for $12, so try your local Latin market if there's one around.

It is known that Maté contains Theobromine an interesting compound. Overheating it changes it to caffeine. If you cannot drink your Maté immediately after pouring in the "hot" water you're probably drinking a more caffeinated form of Maté. There are studies about Maté stating that when consumed the central nervous system is boosted without the cardio system boost. Caffeine is in stark contrast to this. **Q: Is your yerba mate organic?** A: It doesn't need to be. Organics can be worse than non organic. Anything that is organic can be used as a pesticide. These can be very bad for you, as you know, many toxins and poisons exist in nature. Don't let that deter you from this product, it's the one of the best Ilex Paraguariensis teas you'll find. **Q: Does the product you received seem fresh? I know, with mate it can be hard to tell. Is there a freshness date on the package?** A: Never bothered to look for freshness dates. It has always been (Cruz De Malta) best quality and I do not believe mate can get stale. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***O on 9 January 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***E on 21 July 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***K on 1 April 2023* ## Frequently Bought Together - Cruz de Malta Yerba Mate Traditional Argentina Brew Gluten-Free Large Leaf Low Dust | USA Specific Packaging | (1.1 Lb - 1/2 Kilo) - Husfunov 8oz Yerba Mate Cup, 304 Stainless Steel Double-Wall Mate Cup, Heat Insulation Yerba Mate Gourd, Tea Cup Set Includes Cleaning Brush & 2 Bombillas (Black) - Yerba Mate Playadito 500gm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/689993074-cross-of-malta-1-2-kilo-yerba-mate](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/689993074-cross-of-malta-1-2-kilo-yerba-mate) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
