Are you looking for a delicious, sugar free energy boost?

Do you love the coffee high, but hate the jitters that go with it?

Yerba mate tea may be just what you’re looking for. Yerba mate tea boasts an impressive lineup of health benefits, including the energy boost that you get with coffee, but with less caffeine and no jitters.

We’ve combined yerba mate with elderberries, hibiscus, and stevia leaf in our Elderberry Hibiscus Mate Terere’ Tea. With the rich, fruity taste of elderberries, the tang of hibiscus, the light sweetness of stevia, and the health benefits of mate, this is a great alternative to coffee or black tea.

The most well-known effect of this tea is that it induces a sense of well-being. Unlike coffee, yerba mate provides a steady rise in energy, which gives the feel of stimulation without the jolt.

Yerba mate is also rich in antioxidants and contains several beneficial plant nutrients including:

Xanthines: These compounds act as stimulants. They include caffeine and theobromine, which are also found in tea, coffee, and chocolate.
Caffeoyl derivatives: These compounds are the main health-promoting antioxidants in the tea.
Saponins: These bitter compounds have certain anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering properties.
Polyphenols: This is a large group of antioxidants, linked to a reduced risk of many diseases.

Additionally, yerba mate may boost mental focus and enhance physical performance, help protect against infections from bacteria, parasites, and fungi, reduce appetite to help with weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and boost the immune system. Add to that the antioxidant benefits of hibiscus and the immune boosting power of elderberries, and you understand why we love this tea!
