They cite numerous health benefits, including increased immune system strength, improved digestion, stress reduction, and stimulation of mental processes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1964 the Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific society concluded \"it is difficult to find a plant in any area of the world equal to Mate in nutritional value\" and that Yerba (pronounced Sherba) Mate contains \"practically all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, over 300,000 tons of Yerba Mate is produced yearly for consumption in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. It is truly the South American passion! Yerba Mate comes from a tree, \"Ilex Paraguariensis\", cultivated in South America. The yerba is the leaves; dried and crushed to make a tea-like herb. You may add sugar or honey to sweeten the Yerba as the Argentineans do. Or drink it plain as the majority of South America does.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo allow proper flavor release and to avoid a bitter flavor, Yerba tea should be steeped in hot water, not boiling. By using a \"hot steep\" you can infuse the same tea leaves several times and still experience an excellent tea.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou will find this tea to be vegetal, herbal, and grassy much like green tea. It is a common practice still today to have friends gather around for a passing of the gourd. Passed in a counterclockwise motion, the gourd filled with Yerba Mate is passed from person to person drinking until the host, who prepares the beverage, runs out of water.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-fields-wrapper\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product--custom-fields\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eREG\/DECAF:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegular\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ext-mouse-move\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ext-mouse-down\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ext-mouse-up\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Copper Hades","offers":[{"title":"2LB","offer_id":41542090686603,"sku":"2YERBAMATE","price":57.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5LB","offer_id":41542090719371,"sku":"YERBAMATE","price":25.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/6609\/6523\/files\/Yerba_Mate_Tea.png?v=1692689864","url":"https:\/\/nightowltradingcompany.com\/products\/yerba-mate-tea-1182629575","provider":"Night Owl Trading Company™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
