4.5 / 5Reviewed by argentina.ie
What is good
- + Around 20 yerba brands — one of the two deepest catalogues in Ireland
- + Free shipping from €75, with a €6 middle tier from €50 — the most forgiving ladder here
- + Dispatch within one working day
- + Free local delivery around Galway city, Oranmore and Loughrea over €25
- + Most of the catalogue carries a discounted price
What is not
- − €9 shipping under €50 makes small orders poor value
- − Several headline lines are listed but out of stock
- − No longer stocks Cruz de Malta 1 kg or Canarias 1 kg
- − "Next day" refers to dispatch, not delivery
Shipping: €9 under €50, €6 from €50 to €74.99, free from €75. Free local delivery around Galway city, Oranmore and Loughrea on orders over €25. Dispatched within one working day.
Based in Loughrea, Co. Galway, yerbamate.ie is one of only two Irish shops that treat yerba as their actual business rather than a shelf in a wider range. That shows in the catalogue: around 20 brands, and a lot of the stock sits at a discounted price at any given time.
Its real advantage is the shipping ladder. €9 under €50, €6 from €50, free from €75. That €75 free-shipping bar is the lowest of the two specialists — its main competitor requires €100 — so for a typical stock-up order in the €50–€100 range, yerbamate.ie usually lands cheapest even when its shelf price is a few cent higher. Orders are dispatched within one working day, and there is free local delivery over €25 within set zones around Galway city, Oranmore and Loughrea, which is unusually generous if you live nearby.
Two honest caveats. First, “next-day” describes dispatch, not delivery — courier time is on top. Second, availability is uneven: several well-known lines are still listed while sold out, and Cruz de Malta 1 kg and Canarias 1 kg are no longer stocked at all. Check the product page before you build an order around a specific bag.
For a single kilo it is not the cheapest option in Ireland — nothing is, once shipping is counted. For a proper order, it is one of the two shops worth using. Compare it live on the price table.
