Ingredients: 100% Roasted Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis)
What is Yerba Mate?
Mate is a traditional infusion made from the South American plant Ilex paraguariensis, rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients. Known for its natural energizing effect, it contains over 190 bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, and caffeine, promoting well-being and vitality.
Mate consumption varies by region:
✔ In Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, it is simply called Mate and is typically consumed hot and shared in groups.
✔ In Brazil, the hot infusion is called Chimarrão, while the cold version, ideal for warm days, is known as Tererê.
Fun Fact:
In the 17th century, yerba mate was banned by Jesuit missionaries, leading to a drastic decline in indigenous production. Today, it is one of the most popular beverages in South America and is gaining more fans across Europe!
Benefits:
✔ Physical and mental stimulant
✔ Boosts metabolism and helps burn fat
✔ Improves concentration and reduces fatigue
✔ Aids digestion and may support circulation
✔ Rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals
