CAFFEINE LEVEL: high 

STEEP at 150° for 3-5 minutes

INGREDIENTS: Yerba Mate tea

Yerba Mate is a premium loose leaf South American tea made from the dried leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant, offering a bold, earthy flavor and naturally high caffeine content for clean, sustained energy. Sourced from traditional growing regions in South America, this invigorating herbal tea is known for its smooth stimulation, rich taste, and long history as a daily beverage enjoyed across Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

Unlike coffee, Yerba Mate provides a more balanced energy experience that many tea drinkers describe as steady and focused rather than jittery. Its naturally occurring caffeine, antioxidants, and nutrients make it a popular choice for those looking to replace or reduce coffee while still enjoying a strong morning or afternoon boost.

Each cup brews into a deep golden-green infusion with a distinctive earthy aroma and layered flavor profile. Expect a smooth, grassy character with subtle notes of toasted herbs and mild bitterness that becomes more refined with each steeping. The flavor is bold yet clean, making it enjoyable both hot and traditionally brewed, or chilled over ice for a refreshing energy drink alternative.

Yerba Mate has been enjoyed for centuries as a social and energizing beverage, traditionally sipped from a gourd using a filtered straw called a bombilla. Today, it is commonly prepared in French presses, tea infusers, or simply steeped loose leaf style for convenience while still preserving its authentic character.

Because of its high caffeine level, Yerba Mate is ideal for mornings, pre-workout routines, or any time you need a natural energy lift without the crash associated with sugary energy drinks. It can also be cold brewed for a smooth, refreshing iced mate with a crisp finish.
