Promotes Mental Alertness
Herbal Dietary Supplement
Maté is traditionally used in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay
and Uruguay as a daily stimulant beverage. Like tea or coffee, drinking maté
promotes alertness due to its naturally occurring caffeine content. Clinical
data shows that beverages with caffeine help to restore mental alertness to
those experiencing fatigue.
Our yerba maté comes from the beautiful Guayaki Rainforest
Reserve, located in the Mata Atlantica rainforest of Paraguay. Local and indigenous
families who grow the yerba maté use sustainable growing methods to protect
the environment and preserve an important source of livelihoods for future generations.
This organic yerba maté is shade-grown, then hand-picked, wood-dried
and cedar-aged for premium quality and exceptional flavor.
How does it taste? Slightly astringent, bitter and smoky. Add a sweetener,
if desired.

For maximum benefit, medicinal tea must be properly prepared.
Pour 8 oz. hot water (freshly boiled but no longer bubbling)
over a tea bag in a cup.
Cover cup and steep 5-10 minutes. These steps directly influence
the amount of beneficial components that will end up in your teacup!
Gently squeeze the tea bag to release the remaining extract.
Add a sweetener if desired.
Drink 3 or more cups daily. For an extra strength brew, use
two teabags or brew up a whole pot using four or five teabags.
