Botanical Name: Ilex paraguariensis
Country of Origin: Brazil
Production: Yerba Mate (we offer either cut & sift or tea blend cut) belongs to the Aquifoliaceae family, which is originally from the subtropical regions of South America, but is also present in the southern region of Brazil, and in the northern regions of Argentina and Paraguay. It was first consumed by the indigenous Guaraní and Quechua people who drank tea made from the leaves. In present-day South America (particularly Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, and southern Brazil), yerba mate continues to be a widely consumed staple and is a celebrated part of everyday culture.
Qualities: Mate has been claimed to have many positive effects on human health. In some cases it has been shown to be useful as a weight loss tool, to improve the mood, and increase mental energy and focus.
Common Use: Mate is most commonly prepared as a tea. Traditionally, it is drunk from an apple-sized, hollow gourd (called mate in Spanish), through a metal straw (bombilla), refilled, and passed along. It is made by filling the gourd ¾ full with the dried leaves and then covering it with water that is hot but not boiling. Sugar may be added if desired. Mate can also be prepared with cold water or lemonade (called tereré).
Internationally, mate is enjoyed as a tea, in the traditional vessel or in tea bags. It has a bitter, yet refreshing flavor and is a well-balanced stimulant that provides energy and nutrition. The caffeine content of yerba mate varies between that of green tea and coffee. It can be prepared with milk, honey, lemon, mint, and many more delicious combinations.
Storage: Store sealed in a cool, dark, dry place.

CanadaNot as good as I hoped
Although it’s a clean product with no dust the leaf size is large so not a lot of flavour comes out. We ground it up smaller in a coffee grinder for more taste. I find I prefer the traditional taste of Yerba mate so won’t buy this again.

Tanya T. Canadayerbe mate roasted
We have very much enjoyed the roasted yerbe mate. My partner prefers the roasted for taste and it has served as good coffee/tea alternative. The quality of the tea is very good and we are enjoying this product very much. Thank you

I like the toasted yerbe mate. I put it in the same container as I would my coffee and make it in my espresso machine. It is very tasty.

Gabi CanadaGreat taste
Once i started drinking this, I stopped drinking coffee. It is so much smoother. The last few batches i've ordered have been great, the latest one was a little charred but it was subtle enough not be a bother
