Yerba Mate is a wonderful green tea!

What is Yerba Mate?

Simpley put. Yerba Mate is this really cool green tea from South America and you drink with a gourd and a straw called a Bambillia. It has a wonderful kick to it that will keep you awake, alert and will help you stay focused when you would normally be tired and warn out. I mean this stuff really has some herbal wonders to it. Tastes great and keeps you awake without all the cafein of coffee. On top of it tasting great and keeping you awake and alert it has many herbal health benfits as a major plus! That about sums it up for me.

To the right here you can see a photo of the beautiful Yerba plant! If you want to get more technical you can read the info below.
