Power up with Yerba Mate, “the drink of the gods”
If you haven’t tried yerba mate, you’re in for a treat! Yerba Mate (pronounced YUR-ba MAH-tay) is a South American herb grown in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.
The tea was originally drunk by the Guarani Indians, who sipped it from a gourd and offered it as a symbol of hospitality. They considered yerba mate to be healthy for both the body and the soul, calling it “the drink of the gods.”
You’ll understand when you try yerba mate for yourself. It is robust and earthy, with an energizing caffeine kick that doesn’t give you the jitters. It’s the perfect way to jump-start
your morning, wean yourself off of coffee or burn the midnight oil.
