Item Description

Legend has it that a magical tree grows in the South American rainforest with the powers to unite and energize. Yerba mate has the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate, all in a single drink. With 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids and abundant polyphenols, yerba mate nourishes while it stimulates. In fact, the Pasteur Institute declared that the yerba mate plant "contains practically all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life." Imbibing this high energy infusion means you're choosing a more balanced caffeinated beverage.

Decreed the symbol of friendship by Yari, mythical goddess of mate, the culture of yerba mate is just as rich as its flavor. Traditionally, yerba mate is infused with hot water in a hollowed-out gourd. The liquid is filtered through a metal straw called a bombilla and is usually shared among friends who take a sip and pass it along. This tradition has been passed down for generations: yerba mate awakens the mind, brings people together and creates a community that stretches around the world.

This 7-piece gift set includes:

  • Gourd
  • Stainless steel Bombilla
  • Traditional Mate bags (33-count)
  • Bag of loose leaf Mate (8oz)
  • Can of Bluephoria Yerba Mate
  • Can of Sparkling Cranberry Pomegranite Yerba Mate
  • Can of Sparkling Lima Limon Yerba Mate

Plus, you'll get a handmade 100% cotton tote bag with a festive cactus motif to brighten your day!
