Other Description

Yerba mate is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. To capture the whole plant energy of the yerba mate tree, Guayaki blends whole leaf, tender stems and leaf powder for a potent infusion with enduring flavor. Our traditional mate is pleasantly rich with a full flavored body, yet surprisingly soft on the palate, and complimented by earthy, and woodsy aromas. Make a superb mate latte by adding choice of milk and sweetener! Supports focus & clarity*. Boosts physical energy*. Traditionally used to support weight loss programs that include a balanced diet and exercise*. Contains antioxidants*. Aids elimination*. The gourd circle - tomando mate (drinking mate) is a symbol of hospitality. As the mate gourd is passed around the circle, a source of connection emerges. The first step of the ceremony is the preparation of the gourd. Typically, the cebador/a (mate server) prepares mate for a friend or a group of friends. The cebador/a drinks the first one or two gourd-fulls, testing the water to ensure that only a smooth running mate is shared. Then the gourd is refilled with water and passed counter-clockwise with the bombilla (straw-filter) facing the recipient. Each person drinks the entire gourd: "you share the vessel, not the liquid." The recipient of the gourd has as much time as needed to finish the gourd-full. After the last few sips of the mate are gone, the gourd is returned with the bombilla facing the cebador/a. The gourd is refilled with hot water and follows around the circle, continuing in this fashion until the mate is lavado (flat). If someone has had enough mate, they simply say gracias (thank you) to indicate that they are finished.
