Common Questions

Yerba Mate Tea - What is it?
It is a traditional South American infusion of the dried leaves of the mate plant, yerba mate is robust in flavour and energetic.

Is it caffeinated?
Yes. Yerba mate contains caffeine and is often drunk instead of coffee or strong tea.

Are there added flavours or sugars?
No. The only thing in pure yerba mate is the mate leaves themselves - no flavours or sweeteners added. For flavoured blends always check the ingredients list.

Does it get reheated?
Yes - if pre-brewed gently reheat; avoid boiling. Or enjoy cold. Refrigerate immediately and consume within 24 hours.

How do I store it/how long does it keep?
Keep cool, dry and away from light. When properly stored, yerba mate can last up to 4 years, although the freshness and aroma are best enjoyed earlier.
