Couldn't load pickup availability
Not just a popular beverage, Yerba Maté is used as an overall tonic, as it is rich in antioxidants and minerals, and as a stimulant to reduce fatigue. Leaves are air-dried and certified organic before repackaging.
Preparation: Steep 1-2 tsp per cup in just-boiled water for 10 mins. Great added to tea blends. You can even try it with milk and honey, or as a Maté Latté.
The traditional method of drinking Yerba Maté is with a gourd (drinking vessel) and bombilla (strainer straw). The basic method is to fill the gourd half full of Maté leaves, add a small amount of cold water to wet leaves, then top up with hot water. Sip through the bombilla (making sure not to stir!). You can continue to top up with hot water and drink it until there is no flavour left. Traditionally the gourd is passed around a circle of friends and everyone shares the drink.

PHYTOTHERAPY
PHYTOTHERAPY
Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) — Dried Herb (Leaf)
Ilex paraguariensis aerial parts are rich in methylxanthines (notably caffeine and theobromine), chlorogenic acids and other caffeoyl derivatives, flavonoids, and saponins, which collectively contribute to its complex phytochemical profile.¹,² In experimental and in vivo research, yerba mate extracts have been investigated for interactions with cellular oxidative pathways, influencing antioxidant capacity, radical scavenging, and metabolic enzyme systems without implying specific health outcomes.¹,³ Components such as caffeine and theobromine interact with central nervous system signalling systems in vitro, while phenolic acids are explored for redox modulation.¹
Traditional South American use of dried yerba mate leaf as a communal infusion (mate or tereré) spans centuries among Guaraní and other indigenous communities and has been documented ethnobotanically, reflecting cultural, nutritive, and social roles for the herb.² Contemporary studies continue to characterize its polyphenol and methylxanthine composition in relation to biochemical activity.¹,²
