Product Description

nobleza_gaucha_logo-120x120.pngA traditional yerba mate leaf only.

Yerba Mate is packed full of difficult to find, important nutrients: Vitamins B-1, B-2, A, riboflavin, carotene, colin, pantothenic acid, inositol and 15 types of amino acids (F. Alikaridis 1987). It also contains significant quantities of the all important iron, potassium, and magnesium minerals, something Green Tea lacks. As noted by The Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific Society, "It is difficult to find a plant in any area of the world equal to Mate in nutritional value."

    nobleza_vintage_promo.jpgYerba maté, also called Paraguay cayi, Paraguay tea, South American holly, matéteestrauch, erva-verdadeira, St. Bartholomew’s tea, Jesuit’s tea, hervea, caminú, kkiro, kali chaye, Ilex paraguayensis of the Aquifoliaceae family, is an herbal tea claimed to have multiple medicinal and healthful properties.

    Yerba Mate is a medium-sized tree of the holly family grown wild and cultivated in Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil. It's a sustainable harvest which in turn supports rainforest preservation and the conservation and protection of endangered species.
    Traditionally, unless you were a gaucho alone on the pampa, you shared your cup of tea with close associates and family. Sharing the drink is a sign of friendship and bonding, and as such has a certain ceremonial aspect which is still observed and celebrated even though yerba maté bars are popular.
    Preparation
    Traditionally, the dry leaves are placed in a cup, or gourd called a maté, then cold water is added to moisten the leaves and protect the nutrients and flavor. Next, hot water is added until all the leaves are covered. Rather than removing the leaves, you sip the tea through a straw called a bombilla which has a filter or strainer at the bottom to prevent the leaves going through the straw.  As you drink the tea, you add more water to the cup.  It can be brewed cold for iced tea. The addition of lemon, mint, or sweetener to taste helps mask the "natural" flavor. It makes a great sun tea.
