Description

Maté is an intensely powerful herb, native to the subtropical rainforests of Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. South Americans have been sipping at this energy brew for centuries, used traditionally as a stimulant, digestive aid, and a tonic for depression and pain. Maté is dried over fire to inhibit fermentation; this allows the leaves to keep their green colour, while also locking in their load of essential vitamins and minerals. After the drying process, the maté is shredded, and left to age for a year in cedar containers, before becoming yerba maté.

Ingredients:

Yerba Maté green, mango bits, pineapple bits, citrus peels, mangosteen peels, flavour, sunflower petals.
