Roasted yerba mate has a richer, nuttier flavor compared to the traditional version. Roasting the leaves reduces bitterness and gives a smoother taste.

It is often considered less stimulating than coffee, but with a longer-lasting energy boost. The roasted version is sometimes used in culinary applications, such as in desserts and marinades.
