"Maté is traditionally used in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay as a daily stimulant beverage. Like tea or coffee, drinking maté promotes alertness due to its naturally occurring caffeine content. Clinical data shows that beverages with caffeine help to restore mental alertness to those experiencing fatigue.Our yerba maté comes from the beautiful Guayaki Rainforest Reserve, located in the Mata Atlantica rainforest of Paraguay. Local and indigenous families who grow the yerba maté use sustainable growing methods to protect the environment and preserve an important source of livelihoods for future generations. This organic yerba maté is shade-grown, then hand-picked, wood-dried and cedar-aged for premium quality and exceptional flavor.How does it taste? Slightly astringent, bitter and smoky. Add a sweetener, if desired."
