It can be said that yerba mate is to South America what tea is to China. It is the national drink of Argentina, Southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Also like tea, loyal mate lovers say it makes one feel clear thinking and alert but without the jitteriness of coffee (yes, yerba mate contains caffeine). In the streets of Brazil, it would be common instead of coffee or tea, to see mate enjoyed as a very social drink with young and old alike, sipping out of the traditional mate gourd (a drinking cup fashioned out of a gourd), with a bombilla (a straw-like tool).
Its stimulating properties make it a popular drink for students and people who want to stay active and focused.
The plants of this Yerba Maté are integrated into the Brazilian native forest and its biennial harvesting allows a respectful harvest by its high regeneration.  Certified organic, this small production offers a herbaceous, frank and bitter taste, classic of Brazilian Yerba Maté dried without contact with smoke.  The leaves are evenly cut, leaving the brew well balanced and residue-free.
Ingredients: Green yerba mate leaves of Brazil
