Yerba mate is a popular traditional tea brewed from the Ilex paraguariensis plant from South America. This delightfully complex tea has been enjoyed in South America for hundreds of years both for its flavor and for its health benefits. Yerba mate drinkers experience a boost in energy comparable to coffee but without the spikes and crashes associated with coffee. The boldly assertive flavor of our whole leaf Yerba mate is tempered by the addition of our English lavender blend. Combining these two herbs creates an intense earthy floral flavor experience that is as good for you, as it is delicious.
