In packets of 15 tea temples

About this tea:

We’re not going to lie to you - no one it seems is indifferent to this tea. You’ll either love it or hate it. Yerba Mate (pronounced yerba mah-tey) is native to South America, where it is drunk as a natural stimulant to increase focus and alertness while helping with detoxing and weight loss. And it does all this, allegedly, without any side effects. So one for our celebrity customers then. (We’re also working on a Mate Vanilla, so that mate haters can get the health benefits without enduring the taste.)

Compare the leaf in our tea temples to the dust in your regular tea bag; whole leaf is best.

Taste:

A strong, slightly bitter, smoky taste. Could this be today’s Lapsang Souchong?

Try it:

With a sprinkling of cinnamon or ginger.

Good if you’re feeling:

Open-minded and willing to take a risk. This is an Amazonian secret energy brew - it may smell like creosote, but it works like magic.

Tin not included.
