What is the difference between the regular package and the package that says "Sin Capas Plasticas" at the top?

It's a packaging gimmick. Nothing to make any difference in taste."Con Palo" means it's manufactured with the plant's stems. Which is very common. It doesn't make it any lesser quality. If you drink mate with bombilla then "con palo" helps the bombilla from clogging. For teas, if you're going to steep the mate, then sin palo would make more sense.There is a difference in taste between the "con palo" o "sin palo" but it's a matter of taste, not quality.Sin palo will cost more due to the process cost of removing the stems.Hope this helps.I had bought 1/2 of cruz de Malta for $11 from amazon. But I found my local Mexican market, and just bought a kilo for $12, so try your local Latin market if there's one around.

does this contain caffine?

Debatable. It is known that Maté contains Theobromine an interesting compound. Overheating it changes it to caffeine. If you cannot drink your Maté immediately after pouring in the "hot" water you're probably drinking a more caffeinated form of Maté. There are studies about Maté stating that when consumed the central nervous system is boosted without the cardio system boost. Caffeine is in stark contrast to this.

Is your yerba mate organic?

It doesn't need to be. Organics can be worse than non organic. Anything that is organic can be used as a pesticide. These can be very bad for you, as you know, many toxins and poisons exist in nature. Don't let that deter you from this product, it's the one of the best Ilex Paraguariensis teas you'll find.

Does the product you received seem fresh? I know, with mate it can be hard to tell. Is there a freshness date on the package?

Never bothered to look for freshness dates. It has always been (Cruz De Malta) best quality and I do not believe mate can get stale.

but I like it a lot more than cold coffee (much milder

My first time trying tereré, so I've got nothing to compare it to, but I like it a lot more than cold coffee (much milder, no buzz) and more than iced green tea (smokier, tastes better). No complaints so far; I'll likely keep cold brewing this on a regular basis for a while. Currently using 3 heaped tablespoons to a 1L pitcher of water and fresh squeezed lime juice, cold brewed in the fridge for 2 days.

Great stuff - preparation instructions in my review

Great mate to begin with. The taste is great, provided you make it properly. Make sure you do enough research on how to NOT ruin it. You can easily re-pour at least 8-10 times, as you should. I don't have the traditional mate gourd but my little thermos mug works just fine. Instructions: boil water around 75-80 degree Celsius. Fill up your mug/gourd just over half with the mate leaves. Turn it upside down, cover with your hand and give it a shake, turn it on its side and give it another shake. Tilt your container and form a 45 degree angle of the mate leaves inside. Insert your bombillo (the straw) and pour some cold water first. DO NOT move the bombillo after this point and DO NOT stir. Add the perfectly boiled water at said temperature upto the brim. The first sip is usually spat out and then enjoy your perfect mate. It gives me a nice light buzz and lifts the spirits everytime I drink it. Does not give you a caffeine crash experienced after having coffee. I love a good coffe as well, nothing against it but mate is another love affair. Some might find it weird tasting at the beginning but I guarantee you'll develop a palate for it after drinking it a few times. Full of antioxidants, vitamin c and perfect for fasting as it regulates the metabolism and appetite!
