Soft, smooth, and mild is what Rosamonte Suave is all about. Take away the bold, harsh, and smoky characteristics from the original Rosamonte and this is what you get.

If that sounds good to you, this bag of yerba won’t disappoint.

And if you’re a beginner, then you really don’t want to miss out.

I’ve been drinking this yerba for the past few weeks, experimenting with it at different water temperatures, and once again, Rosamonte has outdone themselves.

In today’s review, we’ll be taking a closer look at Rosamonte Suave and how it looks, smells, tastes, and more.

Let’s begin!

Nose

To the nose, Rosamonte Suave boasts this light earthy aroma that mingles with more sweet delicate notes of cereal and strawberry jam. Hints of freshly baked bread are also present without any trace of smokiness. Bright and pleasant, this mate does a good job delivering a lovely scent.

Taste

Rosamonte Suave is like a cross between its traditional and despalada version. It has the smoothness of Rosamonte Despalada and a flavor profile similar to the original, but with a much milder strength of course.

Notes of wet soil and florals are most prominent in this mate. And hiding beneath it all is this light refreshing taste of wood and mint – almost like chewing on a fresh mint leaf. A subtle honey sweetness and sour note are present at times as well. Living up to its name, I also don’t experience any harshness or smokiness. Its flavor mostly consists of bright notes and stays the same throughout the entire mate.

I found Rosamonte Suave to do best in water temperatures of around 150ºF (66ºC).

Finish

When it comes to this mate’s finish, it barely leaves a footprint. At most, you’ll get a light nutty flavor. But other than that, you won’t taste anything, and I kind of love it. It leaves my palate cleansed, refreshed, and ready for the next sip, which allows me to experience its flavor all over again without being tainted.

Body/Texture

Rosamonte Suave is a light-bodied mate. From start to finish, it’s as light as a feather and gently flows in and out. Astringency can be felt around the halfway point but quickly disappears. For those of you looking for a bit of body and texture, this probably isn’t it. But if you’re looking for something soft and smooth, this mate will be right up your alley.

Cut

Rosamonte Suave has an Argentine cut. And because it’s Suave, you can expect a higher amount of palos. This is how they achieve a milder strength and flavor. Leaves are broadly-cut, stems are mostly large, and dust content is below average. There are also quite a few seeds within the mix. If you look closely at the picture, you can see them.

When it comes time to prepare, you shouldn’t have any problems. The large particles make filtration simple, but the mountain of mate difficult to maintain. Any bombilla will work well with this mate.

Cycle

Surprisingly, with such a mild-flavored mate, Rosamonte Suave has a short-to-medium cycle. Its strength, though light, holds up for a majority of my thermos. I can usually get about 1/2-3/4 of a liter before it starts to taste like nothing.

Effect

When I see a Suave mate, I naturally assume every aspect of it – including its effect – is mild, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The effects I experience with Rosamonte Suave is the same as with any other brand. It’s not weaker nor stronger. You can expect a mellow and gradual increase in focus and concentration, along with a soothing calmness. What I love most about this mate though is I never get an upset stomach. With other yerbas, I experience it a handful of times. But even after finishing an entire bag of Rosamonte Suave, it didn’t happen once (thank god).

This yerba is a good all-day mate. It’s stimulating, but not stimulating enough to keep you up at night. Perfect for studying, reading, and relaxing.

Rosamonte Suave Yerba Mate Review

Rosamonte Suave doesn’t bite. It’s a safe mate.

Whether drinking by yourself or with friends and family, this would be a good yerba to reach for. Tasty yet mild, it’ll be well-received by drinkers of all experience levels. Its long duration also serves well for sharing.

As my first Suave mate, I’m impressed.

It’s a good switch from the usual bold and harsh yerbas out there.
