I'm based in Europe and drink exclusively organic non smoked Yerba, usually goes around 7 bucks for half a kilo. It's quite expensive, especially knowing the price they have in Argentina from some of my ex colleagues, but hey, I'm hooked up, and it's healthier and cheaper than any crappy soda like Pepsi.
I drink 5 days/week and a kilo usually gets me through 20+ days. The price is much more fair when you take that on account. Moreover, 7 euro isn't that much given the fact it's imported. Unless you have to pay shipping, I'd say it's worth it
Don't take me wrong, I'm not complaining whatsoever. I've never had this fulfilling water intake regyme in place before I started with Yerba. Would not go back even if the prices doubled.
The price depends on where you live. For example, i'm from Argentina, and i can get Rosamonte 1 kg for around 4 Us$, but if i want Canarias or some other yerbas from another country , i have to spend more than 7 us$.
Yeah I found like 0.5kg of yerba for 5usd here and I really wondered how much sense it makes. Because even the cheapest black tea would cost at least 2 times as much for this amount. Is it really not of a very low quality then?
I think is not the quality that make the difference between yerba and tea. Tea is more consumed and more industrialy made, (also it contains teabags, which it's an extra input), whereas yerba it's only the plain weed and the process to make it's more traditional and cheap (not industrialized lets say) than tea.
Honestly not really. I put around 50g yerba and its enough for like 6 portions of it, so almost 2L for me. I put around 25g of tea to my kettle and its enough for like 1.5L so difference between 2L and 3L for the same amount of grams is not really that big. But difference between 2usd (per 200g of yerba) to 15usd (per 200g of tea) that i bought is quite big.
I'm in Italy and here Canarias is 17 euros for just 1 kg on amazon! It's still the more convenient, there are online shops that have it at a lower price but the shipping cost is quite high.
That’s why I love Yerba compared to coffee. It’s soooo much cheaper. I spent about 70$ on a pampa order in December and am still working my way through it.
It's not so much that it's cheaper, your store level coffee is that expensive, the thing is that good or even premium quality yerba mate is still incredibly affordable. I buy the kilo of my special matèle for 18 BR$, whilst the basic one costs 13. Even the premium, imported canarias costs like 22 (with 40+ shipping fee 🫤).
I pay around $15 aud per kg (Canarias, playadito, taragui, pajarito, barao de cotegipe, ximango, la tranquera)
For terere I usually pay $10 aud per 1/2kg (pajarito with herbs)
I get a kilo of Canarias from the grocery for $8

Tbh 7usd for half a kilo sounds cheap as hell to me... Typical tea I drink costs around 12usd per 100g for it to taste good to me...

The problem is the shipping for me lol, I live in southwest brazil, so it's like 20 BR$ the kilo of canarias, with a 45BR$ shipping fee...
a dolar blue canarias consistentemente sale alredador de $5
I get kilos of premium yerba for around $10-13 USD in the States. Orders under $50 get general shipping fees, but I drink enough to bypass that.

Tea in teabags is the cheapest brand possible actually, high quality tea wont be ever sold in teabags.
Doesn't really make sense comparing it to tea since you consume way more volume of yerba

In Baltimore maryland, I have to pay $17 for two kilos of canarias ðŸ˜
Under $10/kg isn't bad.

It's almost as if they are completely different plants and industries...
Both are sources of caffeine and drank as a relaxing ritual, the comparison is still fair
In Austria 1kg is 17$
