Yerba Mate Caffeinated Herbal Tea

Yerba Maté is an indigenous herb of the Amazon and popular throughout Latin America for its invigorating energy and robust flavor. It's rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and it's often referred to as the "tea" of Latin America. Mate leaves are processed somewhat like tea leaves. The tips of the branches are cut just before the leaves reach full growth and the leaves are steamed and dried (in fired mate the leaves are dried over fires) The dried leaves are sifted and allowed to age in order to enhance the flavor of the mate. Yerba Maté contains caffeine and delivers uplifting energy. The caffeine content of mate is comparable to that of mild arabica coffee. Ingredients: Artisan green yerba mate Origin: Brazil
