Love Tea Organic Yerba Mate Tea Loose Leaf 60g

Description

Yerba Maté offers an uplifting quality with a vegetal, earthy and slightly toasty flavour.
 
Yerba Maté is an organic, green variety of yerba Maté leaf which is sourced from Brazil. There are no other ingredients or additives in this product. Native to South America, yerba maté was traditionally consumed by the indigenous Guaraní and Tupi peoples for its high caffeine content and rich antioxidant properties. Caffeine has a stimulating effect on the nervous system and can support energy production, vitality and mental clarity. 

The naturally occurring caffeine content in a cup of yerba maté tea is approximately 80mg per cup, which is slightly less than the caffeine content in a cup of coffee. However, it is commonly reported that many of the negative effects often experienced from the caffeine in coffee, such as anxiety, energy slumps and poor sleep quality, are not experienced after yerba maté.

The clear pouch that holds this tea is made from a renewable plant-based cellophane and can easily be home composted. The cardboard is made from post-consumer recycled board, is printed with vegetable-based inks and can also be home composted after use.
