Peppermint Yerbe | Mate

The Basics
This unique Brazilian herbal is traditionally brewed in a hollow calabash gourd, and sipped with a silver straw called a bomba. This is a very common social practice in countries such as Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. The flavor of brewed Yerba Mate is strongly vegetal, herbal, and grassy. It is similar to a green tea, but much stronger in flavor. A versatile leaf, it does not become bitter with over-steeping, making it very accessible to try for the inexperienced tea drinker... even those without a gourd.





The Good Stuff. (Impress Your Friends.)
This stuff is awesome,especially as a mid day pick me up. The added Peppermint is a nice flavoring as well as breath freshener.

The combination of Peppermint and Yerbe Mate has successfully been incorporated during fasts. I try to do a mini fast once a week to give my digestive system a break. I drink this combo with honey and lemon as meal replacements for the firt half of a day.
