Ground Yerba Maté Leaves

Yerba mate is a traditional South American herbal drink that has been enjoyed for generations in countries such as Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil. The leaves come from the yerba mate plant (Ilex paraguariensis) and, after harvesting, are dried and ground for use as tea.

Yerba mate is also widely consumed outside South America and is popular with a broad audience, including some (elite) athletes. The leaves naturally contain caffeine and other plant compounds that are characteristic of yerba mate.

Use

Use yerba mate as a tea. Place approximately one tablespoon per cup in a tea strainer or filter and allow to infuse for 3 to 4 minutes in hot, but not boiling, water. The infusion time and dosage can be adjusted to suit your taste.

Storage advice

Store the product in a cool, dry place, in a sealed container, away from direct sunlight.
