In addition to its standing as a popular beverage, yerba mate is used as a tonic, diuretic, depurative, stimulant to reduce fatigue an aid for gastric functions; it also suppress appetite.            

 

Yerba mate contains only 0.7 to 2% of the caffeine found in coffee and does not have any of the adverse effects (such as jitters, heart palpitations, bad breath and stained teeth). There exists a spectrum of strengths and blends found in the various brands available. The La Pachamama Connoisseurs Collection allows an experimentation of flavour and strength so that our customers can learn where their preferences lie. 
 
Yerba mate contains numerous vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, C, E, most of the B-complex; riboflavin; carotene; nicotinic and pantothenic acids; biotin; magnesium; calcium; iron; sodium; potassium; manganese; phosphates and caffeine.

 

La Pachamama sells only the best quality brands and we are happy to judge the quality for ourselves! As well as popular brands from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil, we also stock the organic and fair trade blends of Kraus and Ecoteas.
