Yerba mate (pronounced Yerba MAH-teh) is a tea-like concoction made from the South American Ilex paraguariensis tree that has many health promoting benefits. It is especially great as an alternative to coffee, giving a great coffee-like buzz that is gentler, healthier and longer lasting. The leaves of this tree contain (in addition to the important ingredient, caffeine) an abundance of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids.
This delicious coffee alternative originates from Brazil but has become a household name around the world. Painstakingly hand-harvested by the industry’s most patient Yerba Mate growers, the leaves are cut, carried, and dried with great care and attention. From field to cup, Yerba Mate Tea has a long history as a “gift from the Gods,” bringing people together in various civilizations worldwide. Today, Yerba Mate Tea is still adored globally for its incredibly unique taste that many describe as strong, bitter, and earthy. A tempting eucalyptus scent lures tea-lovers in for a sip, enjoying a cup-full of energy-boosting antioxidants, enhanced physical performance, and immune-boosting action.
