Ilex paraguariensis, also known as Yerba mate, is an Amazonian tea in the same family as Guayusa with a healthy theobromine content and about twice the caffeine as green tea.

Yerba mate is a delicious and nutritious tea that stimulates the blood, mind, and body. It is traditionally used in South America very similarly to how green tea is used in Asia, but tends to be more of a stimulating beverage.

Yerba mate is a delicate balance between green tea and stimulating beverages like coffee and guayusa, and is more akin to chocolate in it’s nature due to it’s hefty theobromine and polyphenol content.
