Yerba mate is a traditional South American beverage made from the leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant. Unlike other teas, yerba mate is known for its robust flavor profile and balanced energy boost, thanks to its unique combination of caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline.

To prepare yerba mate, fill a gourd or cup with yerba mate leaves, insert a bombilla (metal straw with a filter), and pour hot water (not boiling) over the leaves. Allow it to steep for a few minutes, then sip and enjoy!
