The people of Paraguay have enjoyed yerba mate for hundreds of
years. 
Yerba mate has been regarded
as a traditional herbal medicine and healthy daily ritual throughout
regions of South America. In Europe, it has been recommended as
a stimulant that reduces stress, obesity, headaches, and arthritis*.
The nutrients of this naturally caffeinated drink comprise of
24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, potent antioxidants,
and 196 active compounds (superior to green tea\s active
compounds). Yerba mate does contain caffeine (in spite of the "myth" about mateine). However, compared to coffee, yerba mate contains up to 50% less caffeine.
As a result, a serving of yerba mate provides
a more balanced stimulation without the nervous jitters often associated with coffee and other high-caffeinated beverages.
Yerba Mate is more than just tea - it is used as a tonic, a diuretic, and as a stimulant to aid gastric function in herbal medicine systems throughout South America and is regarded as a rejuvenating, healthy drink to aid in everyday life. Now, we at Green Leaf Imports wish to make this authentic Paraguayan drink accessible to you.
