Yerba Mate Tea Bags — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

What is Yerba Mate and what does it taste like?

Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is a species of holly native to the subtropical rainforests of South America — primarily Paraguay, Argentina, southern Brazil, and Uruguay — whose leaves and stems have been used as a caffeinated infusion by Indigenous Guaraní people for centuries. In flavour, green yerba mate is bold, grassy, and earthy with a characteristic vegetal freshness and a moderately astringent finish. It is assertive rather than delicate, and sits in a distinct flavour category of its own — familiar to those who enjoy robust herbal teas and green teas, but quite different from either.

What is the difference between this and the Organic version?

Both products contain the same botanical — green Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) from Brazil, at 2g per bag. The key difference is organic certification status. The Yerba Mate Organic 100 Pack is certified organic; this product is conventional (not certified organic). For buyers requiring certified organic status for their own labelling, product development, or customer-facing claims, the Organic version is the appropriate choice. Both are available wholesale.

Does this product contain caffeine?

Yes — Yerba Mate naturally contains caffeine, along with theobromine and theophylline, two related xanthine alkaloids. The caffeine content is broadly comparable to black tea, though it varies with water temperature and steep time. Many people describe the combined effect of these three compounds as producing a sustained, even energy without the abrupt spike-and-crash associated with coffee.

How should I brew Yerba Mate in a tea bag?

Place one pyramid bag (2g) in your cup. Use water at 65–75°C — not fully boiling, as high temperatures increase bitterness and astringency. Steep for 3–5 minutes to taste. The bags can typically be re-infused once with a lighter result. Yerba mate is traditionally consumed without milk but pairs well with a small amount of honey or lemon. For authentic preparation, use a gourd (mate) and bombilla (metal straw) if available.

Are the tea bags biodegradable?

Yes — the pyramid bags are made from soilon, a food-grade biodegradable material derived from corn starch (PLA). They are compostable and break down in industrial composting conditions, consistent with The Herbal Connection's commitment to sustainable packaging across the tea bag range.

What other Yerba Mate products are available?

The Herbal Connection carries a broad range of Yerba Mate products including Yerba Mate Organic (100 pack), Yerba Mate Roasted Organic, Yerba Mate Roasted Chai Organic, Yerba Mate Mornings Organic, and Yerba Mate Aged Focus Organic — all in biodegradable pyramid tea bags.
