I love playadito. It’s been a great soft start for me as a first time mate drinker 2months ago now. Absolutely love it. Smells like an earthy green tea for me.

@jackdanielsgrandillusionist I agree. Playadito is a great yerba for beginners or anyone looking for a soft/smooth yerba! Thanks for watching and commenting

Playadito is the best! Out of all the brands I've tried this is the one I keep going back to. The effects are just right for me and the flavor is very well balanced and not too bitter. I'd say it's the perfect brand for both beginners and experienced drinkers.

I agree @robert58. It is a nice yerba for all materoes

My yerba of choice. Argentinians make the best Yerba and in fact invented it. Also, such a beautiful country, possibly the most beautiful on earth. Would love to visit someday. Greetings from Buenos Aires!

Just a note to say I'm enjoying your videos, fella. Keep them coming. Also, been drinking Playdito constantly the last few days and totally get the biscuit smell

Thanks for the comment. Playadito is very enjoyable 👍. Never thought about a biscuit smell 😆 🤣. I'll have to check that next time.

This was my first yerba mate brand. And was also my favorite one. I loved it because of its sweetness 🧉🧉

This is a great yerba for first time drinkers. I think is softer and provides some good energy.

Just had Playadito this week and I’d even say a large flavor note for me was definitely something toasted. Either toasted nuts or toasted marshmallow.

@yerbatravels

6 ай бұрын

I like that toasted marshmallow thought because it does have a slight sweetness to it. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent review. I love Playadito - probably my favourite yerba. I was taken a-back by the malty, bready flavour when I first tried it compared to the much more bitter/grassy varieties I'd previously tried. Not too heavy on caffeine which I like if I'm not in the mood for a big bolt of stimulation.

As a man of campo, I drink Playadito everyday, best price/quality ratio IMO. And BTW 70ºC is a bit cod IMO, I prefer it to be sround 85 to 90ºC, but drink it the way you like the most, some people prefer to drink it colder than others

@@yerbatravelsHehe. Yes, always, traditional method. I always use kettle + fire to heat the water (extra tradition points if it's wood fire + an old aluminum kettle full of bucklings), always use calabash gourd, or carob wood gourd, never use electric kettle, NEVER use silicon/PVC gourds, I could drink from a metal gourd only if the other person invites (you know to not be disrespectful but I'd rather not). That's how a man of campo drinks mate, that's how I drink mate. Cheers.

I would say Playadito is softer taste. La Merced de Campo has a bit of a stronger taste (which I prefer). La Merced has a luxury taste to it. It's hard to really explain, but there is something about it that makes it stand out just there is when you drink and expensive wine or a top-shelf bourbon.

​@@yerbatravels It's another brand of the cooperariva Liebig, the producers of Playadito. I think they are aiming for a more demanding crowd with this yerba. I don't know how it is in other places, but in europe there are only 500g packs available, in this gold/brass packaging. Way more complex than Playadito. ATM my favorite brand (given that I am sensitive to caffeine) EDIT: And thak you for your reviews, I'm enjoying them greatly
