Description Long hailed in South American countries as a healthy, energizing social beverage, Yerba Mate is finding a new audience in North America. Notable is its ability to provide energy without the jitteriness suffered by coffee imbibers. Its taste has been compared to that of green tea but with a more herbaceous, grassy character. Enjoyed hot or iced it can also be mixed with fruit juices for an energizing punch. When we tried we found notes of sweet tea and citrus. Our Yerba Mate contains caffeine; we would not suggest it as a nightcap. Steeping Time- 3-5 minutes Water Temp- 150 F
