Maté is a South American herb grown primarily in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. South Americans have sipped the energy-boosting brew for centuries and its popularity spread to points around the globe.
Maté is cultivated from the leaves and young twigs of the maté tree. It is dried, shredded and aged for a year in cedar containers before becoming Yerba Maté.
Although considered an herbal tea, Yerba Maté contains approximately the same amount of caffeine as coffee though the energy effect is thought to be more sustainable than coffee.
