Review - Yerba Rosamonte especial
Rosamonte Especial – The Elegance of Argentine Mate, Long-Lasting and Full-Flavored
Short description
A premium version of the famous Rosamonte: smoother taste, floral notes, long duration, and powerful energizing effect. A reinvented classic.
Why choose Rosamonte Especial?
If you think you know Rosamonte, wait until you try its Selección Especial version. Same Argentine signature, but smoother, rounder, more refined.
From the moment you open the pack, this mate delights with notes of dried fruit, warm bread, and delicate flowers. On the palate, it starts vegetal and slightly smoky, then evolves beautifully into floral and sweet aromas. An ideal drink for those who want to combine strength with elegance.

Our take
Rosamonte Especial is the refined big brother of the original Rosamonte. Smoother, more complex, longer on the palate. Perfect for writing, creating, thinking — or simply enjoying an elegant and robust infusion. A must-try if you love full-bodied mate without harshness.
