Know More About Yerba Mate

What Is Yerba Mate?

Yerba mate is made from the leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant, traditionally grown in South America (especially Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay). The leaves are harvested, dried, and aged to develop the signature mate profile: earthy, herbal, and gently bitter with a clean, lingering finish.

Unlike standard tea or coffee, yerba mate is often valued for its balanced stimulation and its ritual-style brewing culture. It can be sipped slowly over multiple refills, making it a drink that naturally fits into mindful routines, study sessions, long workdays, or social gatherings.

Why Yerba Mate Works So Well In The UAE

In a fast-paced climate like the UAE, yerba mate is a perfect match for daily life — it works as a morning energiser, a mid-day focus reset, and an iced refreshment for warm weather. Many people also choose yerba mate as a cleaner-feeling alternative to sugary energy drinks and overly sweet bottled beverages.

• Morning Clarity: Start the day with steady energy.
• Work & Study: Support focus during long sessions.
• Active Lifestyle: A natural pre-workout style drink.
• Warm Weather Friendly: Excellent as iced mate or cold brew.
• Social Ritual: Traditionally shared and refilled many times.

Yerba Mate Styles In This Collection

1) Traditional Yerba Mate

Classic blends combine leaves and stems for balanced strength, earthy depth, and long-lasting sessions. Best brewed in a gourd with a bombilla for the full ritual experience.

2) Pure Leaf Yerba Mate

Whole-leaf mate contains no stems, producing a cleaner, smoother, more tea-like cup. Great for teapots, repeat steeping, and cold brewing.

3) Flavoured Yerba Mate

Flavoured blends like Fruity, Coco Naranja, and Menta Mango modernise mate with aromatic fruit and mint notes. These are especially popular iced and ideal for beginners.

4) Yerba Mate Tea Bags

A convenient way to enjoy mate in the office or on the go — fast brewing with a familiar “tea bag” format.

5) Mate Accessories

A proper mate setup elevates the experience. Explore bombillas (filtered straws), traditional gourds, and insulated thermoses designed for long mate sessions.

How To Brew Yerba Mate

Method 1: Traditional Gourd & Bombilla (Authentic)

This is the classic South American preparation — ideal for long sessions and multiple refills.

• What You Need: Loose-leaf yerba mate, mate gourd, bombilla, hot water (75–80°C — not boiling)

1. Fill the gourd about 3/4 full with yerba mate.
2. Tilt the gourd so the mate gathers on one side, creating a slope.
3. Insert the bombilla into the lower empty space and keep it in place.
4. Pour a small amount of warm water to hydrate the leaves first.
5. Add hot water (75–80°C), sip, and refill many times as the flavour evolves.

Method 2: Brew Yerba Mate Like Tea (Easy)

Perfect for beginners and anyone who wants a simple brewing routine.

• Use: 1–2 teaspoons mate + 250 ml water at ~80°C

1. Steep for 3–5 minutes.
2. Strain and serve.
3. Re-steep up to 2–3 times for best value and evolving flavour.

Method 3: Iced Yerba Mate / Cold Brew (Best For UAE Weather)

Cold brewing creates a smooth, refreshing mate with softer bitterness.

• Cold Brew Ratio: 1 tablespoon mate + 500 ml cold water

1. Add mate to a bottle or jar.
2. Pour in cold water, cover, and refrigerate for 8–12 hours.
3. Strain and serve over ice.
4. Add lemon, mint, or orange for an extra refreshing finish.
