Yerba Mate – Sin Palo
£4.95
Yerba Mate or maté is a traditional South American caffeine-rich infused herbal drink. This Brazilian mate is sin palo – without stems. The other two main types of mate are sin palo (with stems for a lighter brew) and Chimarrão (a mix of stems and leaf).
The beverage is made by soaking dried shade-grown leaves of the Amazonian rain forest holly tree (Ilex Paraguariensis) in hot water and is traditionally served with a metal straw (bombilla) in a container typically made from a calabash gourd (also called the mate).
The Yerba Mate leaf packs a powerful dose of caffeine, similar to a cup of coffee, yet has the health benefits of true tea and more.
Pronounced “yur-ba mah-tay”.
Naturally caffeinated.
Brew with freshly drawn water just off the boil for 4-6 minutes. Without milk or with as a Mate Latte.
Ingredients: Dried Leaves of the Brazilian rain forest holly tree Ilex Paraguariensis.
