Green Yerba Mate – Traditional Unroasted Brazilian MateYerba mate (pronounced "yur-ba mah-tay") is Brazil's national beverage! Green Yerba Mate is made from the shade-grown leaves of a South American holly tree, and it packs a powerful dose of caffeine similar to a cup of coffee with a bold, earthy flavor all its own. It delivers an earthy, pungent and satisfying-as-chocolate drinking experience that has won fans around the world. Our traditional Green Yerba Mate is the highest-quality, unaltered dry leaf — it has not been flavored or roasted. It's naturally rich in caffeine, making it an excellent, balanced brew. Mate has been enjoyed for centuries, which is why it's often called one of the most beloved drinks in South America. There isn't a more excellent reason to introduce mate into your daily life. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItGreen yerba mate is a bold, satisfying cup that's perfect for busy mornings, long study sessions and before a workout. Many mate drinkers love that it tastes smoother and more balanced than coffee.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it the traditional South American way in a gourd with a bombilla, topping up with hot water throughout the day, or simply brew it in your favorite mug or teapot. Its pure flavor also makes it a great base for your own creations — add fresh mint, citrus peel or a splash of juice for a refreshing twist, or serve it iced on hot days. Try Green Yerba Mate yourself and see what all the fuss is about! |

A little steeping tipUse water below boiling so it stays smooth. Re-steep 2–3 times.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
