Review - Yerba Rosamonte tradicional
Rosamonte – Argentine Intensity to Power Your Energy
Short description
A strong taste, a powerful effect, a classic straight from Argentina. Rosamonte is for those who like their mate bold, citrusy, and uncompromising.
Why choose Rosamonte?
It’s the favorite mate of bestselling author Tim Ferriss, the one he calls his creative fuel. Rosamonte doesn’t do subtle: sharp citrus notes, earthy base, unexpected creamy finish, and effects that kick in fast. If you’re looking for a mate that hits hard in flavor and in effect, you’re in the right place.
