Description

Sweet, citrus-y, and a wonderfully fresh cup of brew – Mate, My Sweet is where it’s at!

Mate, My Sweet blends fresh, crisp yerba mate with cut lemongrass for an extra-refreshing kick. This blend brews up a gorgeous, bright yellow-green in the cup and is wonderful with or without sugar. Milk is NOT recommended, though a slice of lemon would be great!

Are you bored with all the teas you find on the shelf at the store? Looking for something new and refreshing to wake up your taste buds? Try yerba mate!

This traditional South American herb is a great alternative to normal teas. Its taste is like nothing you’ve ever encountered – crisp, green, and almost grassy, a little like the best green tea you’ve ever had. Unlike green tea, however, it’s never bitter – just smooth and delicious to the last drop.

Yerba mate also packs a punch, for those times you need to stay awake but you’re not in the mood for coffee. While some folks claim that mate’s wallop comes from a chemical other than caffeine, that’s not true – mateine, the active ingredient, is just a chemical synonym for caffeine. However, many people notice that they don’t get jittery from mate the way they do from coffee. It’s a strong buzz, but a much gentler one.

Because yerba mate must be cut, not left whole-leaf like standard teas, this tisane is going to brew up a bit cloudy, with a bit of sediment at the bottom of your cup. That’s okay! Just drink the dregs; they’re delicious and nutritious, too – mate is packed with vitamins and other beneficial compounds.
