Get your Caffeine Boost the Healthy Way
We have the indigenous Guaraní people living in Paraguay to thank for the jitter-free caffeine boost derived from Yerba Mate Tea. It is a social practice to drink Yerba Mate Tea by people of all ages in Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Southern Brazil. Traditionally, Yerba Mate is shared from the same container, mostly a hollow gourd, which is where the word Mate comes from.
Even though Yerba Mate Tea has more caffeine than green tea or black tea, it contains chlorogenic acid, which aids digestion and saponins which make it more nutritious than tea and coffee. Saponins are known to reduce cholesterol levels, strengthen the immune system, manage blood sugar level, improve lipid metabolism, and prevent obesity.

Having a cup of Yerba Mate before workout increases stamina and performance. It is an ideal pre-workout drink because of its thermogenic properties that increase muscle-mind connection. It can also improve focus and concentration, so you are always prepared for a hectic day of important meetings.
Being a powerful adaptogen, Yerba Mate Tea can survive and thrive in extreme conditions. It has been found that these adaptive qualities are extremely beneficial for human body. It helps the body to acclimatize to internal and external stressors such physiological changes, harmful chemicals, stress, toxins, and so on.
Want to try this healthy caffeinated beverage but worried about its bitter taste? Yerba Mate Tea can taste less bitter if we pay attention to small details. For instance, if you add lukewarm water instead of boiling water, it will make Yerba Mate Tea taste less bitter.
Using mineral water with less pH will also make your tea less bitter. If you want to enjoy the authentic taste, avoid hard water with high chlorine content. Moreover, don’t steep for longer than the suggested time.
Lastly feel free to add your favorite fruits to impart a fruity flavor. You can even enjoy Yerba Mate Tea with lemon and honey. Add sugar, milk, or cream to enjoy Yerba Mate like traditional milk tea.
Good luck! This tea is definitely worth giving a shot!
