Yerba Mate Shade Tea

Yerba Mate is an indigenous herb of the Amazon and popular throughout Latin America for its invigorating energy and robust flavor. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and is often referred to as the “tea” of Latin America. Organic Yerba Mate is one of many potential renewable rainforest products and part of a socially and environmentally conscious movement known as “market driven conservation.” Mate contains a stimulant similar to caffeine, which is more of a mental stimulant rather than physical.

Our shade-grown mate has a green tea-like flavor. It is mildly grassy and vegetal, but is fuller bodied than a green tea.
