Yerba Mate Leaf – Ilex paraguariensis

South American vitality in every cup.

Yerba Mate is a traditional South American herbal tea made from the dried leaves of the evergreen tree Ilex paraguariensis, valued for centuries as a natural alternative to coffee. It offers a distinctive earthy, green flavor with mild bitterness and a fresh herbal aroma, making it a popular choice for daily wellness rituals and mindful energy. Traditionally enjoyed throughout the day, yerba mate is known for its naturally occurring caffeine, polyphenols, and plant compounds that contribute to its balanced, uplifting character.

This herb is commonly prepared as a tea infusion or enjoyed in the traditional mate vessel, but it can also be used in modern tea blends and culinary creations. Our yerba mate is sourced from South America, where the plant grows naturally, and is carefully dried to preserve its aroma and quality. Hand-filled in small batches and packed in a kraft pouch, it is intended for culinary and educational use only. Do not exceed typical culinary amounts, and consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
