Product Description
Brazil's most popular brand. No stems and a nice flavor, with strong character. Yerba Mate is like a tea, and can be used like any other tea. Mate has a characteristic mature flavor which is somewhat sweet, bitter, withered leaf like, and alfalfa-like, similar to that obtained from tea. Legend has it as an invigorator of the mind and body, a natural source of nutrition, and a health promoter. The modern Mate drinker can choose any number of ways to extract the beneficial tea from the herb. It can be brewed like normal loose-leaf tea and filtered before pouring into a cup. It can be use in a coffee press, where the herb is infused with hot water, and then the herb is pressed out of the way of the tea. It can be made into a flavorful iced tea to drink on a hot summer day. It can be made like coffee, in a standard automatic coffee maker (make sure you use a large amount of the herb). And, if you have a Mate cup and a bombilla, you can follow in the foot steps of the ancients by sipping Mate the traditional way.
