Description
Yerba mate is an energizing and refreshing drink rich in antioxidants as well as vitamins and minerals. Often touted for its cognitive benefits and energy boosting properties, this tea contains less caffeine than coffee but more than traditional black tea providing alertness without the jitteriness. This widely consumed beverage, beloved by the Argentine people, enjoys a unique slightly toasty not smokey profile. Recent research has also shown yerba mate may have some weight loss boosting properties by regulating appetite stimulating hormones similar to some weight loss meds on the market. This research is preliminary but still promising. Listen to our podcast episode all about tea for more info.
