Roasted mate | 500 g

The mate shrub, from the holly family, is native to South America. The name of the tea comes not from the plant itself, but from the vessel, a "callabasse", in which the tea is prepared and which is called "mate" in Spanish.

Our mate leaves grown in Brazil are finely cut and gently roasted over a fire. This is how the incomparable, aromatic roasting aroma is created, which is reminiscent of a mixture of black tea and coffee. This folk speciality from South America contains caffeine, which is why mate is stimulating and refreshing. Roasted mate is not only popular because of its smoky - spicy, slightly bitter aroma. Positive properties are also attributed to the tea. The South American plant is said to stimulate the metabolism, aid digestion and strengthen the circulation.
