(Pronounced "mah-tey") Mate was discovered hundreds of years ago in the rainforests of Argentina by South American cowboys. Mate is now the most popular beverage in South America and has taken on cultural importance as a drink to share among friends.
Mate is very nutritious and contains many of the same elements and antioxidants that make green tea so healthy. Mate is gaining popularity in the United States for its ability to safely increase energy, improve mood and aid in weight-loss. Research suggests that Mate is especially helpful for people suffering from depression and anxiety.
Mate has an earthy, natural flavor and blends well with other scents such as mint and lemon.
