Yerba Mate, made from the leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant, is a traditional South American tea known for its robust, earthy flavor and energizing properties. Containing caffeine, theobromine, and other stimulants, Yerba Mate provides a powerful boost in energy and mental clarity. Its slightly bitter finish makes it a favorite for those seeking an invigorating tea experience throughout the day.
