INCI: Ilex paraguariensis

Yerba Mate Tea is the dried leaf of Ilex paraguariensis, a traditional South American botanical enjoyed as a naturally caffeinated herbal-style infusion. It brews into a smooth, herbaceous cup with a gently toasty character and is often chosen as a steadier alternative to coffee for daytime drinking. This dried leaf format is easy to prepare hot or iced and also works well in tea blends, botanical lattes, and alcohol-free drinks. It is a practical pantry tea for customers who enjoy a clean, uplifting cup with a more grassy profile.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to offer Yerba Mate Tea because it brings a clear, refreshing tea experience that feels easy to enjoy throughout the day. It is especially versatile in both hot and iced preparations, and it pairs beautifully with simple additions like lemon, mint, ginger, or a touch of honey.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in large pack sizes.
