Yerba Mate

Yerba Mate is a medicinal and cultural drink of ancient origins. Introduced to the world by the Guarani Indians of South America. Mate has a staggering list of health benefits with 196 active compounds: 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, and 11 polyphenols and powerful antioxidants. Mate is high in chlorophyll and can boast higher polyphenol and antioxidant counts than either green or black teas. Yerba mate provides a unique sustaining energy by its complex combination of xanthine alkaloids: caffeine, theophylline and theobromine, a healthy coffee alternative!!

More than a drink, Yerba Mate has become a cultural phenomenon throughout South America. Its benefits are obvious. In Buenos Aires, where people carry their Mate with them throughout the day, the site of an obese person is rare.
