Ilex paraguariensis, by its botanical name, or yerba maté, is a tree that grows in southern countries of South America, mainly Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. Yerba Mate leaves are naturally caffeinated and picked and dried for consumption, traditionally infused in a calabash (small container), using the bombilla (filtering straw) and by adding hot water.
Mate Libre uses these same leaves to offer a refreshing, tangy, floral, slightly sweet and energizing beverage. Learn more about what is Yerba Mate
Yes! Just like tea or coffee, yerba mate can be consumed regularly. However, it’s best to start gradually, especially if you’re not accustomed to caffeine. Feel free to incorporate yerba mate beverages into your daily routine according to your preferences.
