Description:

Yerba Mate leaves contain saponins (In fact, one recent study yielded 3 new saponins in the Yerba Mate leaf!) Saponins are phytochemicals that have been found to specifically stimulate the immune system and aid the body in protecting against disease. They possess significant anti-inflammatory properties. The immune system, a critical collection of biological structures and processes, is important to keep as strong as possible.

Yerba Mate Organic — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

Both products contain the same botanical — green Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) from Brazil in cut leaf form. The key difference is that this version is certified organic, while the conventional Yerba Mate (HT.YMK1) is not. For retailers, product developers, or wholesale buyers who need to carry organic credentials in their own products or labelling — or who are purchasing for customers with an organic preference — this is the appropriate choice. The Herbal Connection is a Certified Organic business and this product is packed in Australia at our 5-Star Eat Safe licensed facility on the Gold Coast.
Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is a species of holly native to the subtropical rainforests of South America — principally Paraguay, Argentina, southern Brazil, and Uruguay. Its dried cut leaves and stems have been consumed as a caffeinated infusion by Indigenous Guaraní people for centuries and the ritual of sharing mate from a gourd through a metal bombilla straw remains one of the most significant cultural traditions in South America. It is consumed daily by tens of millions of people across the region and has a rapidly growing global following.
Green yerba mate has a bold, earthy, bittersweet, and herbaceous character — often compared to a very robust green tea but more vegetal and with a distinctly bitter, slightly astringent finish. The aroma is fresh and grassy. The flavour mellows noticeably with subsequent re-infusions — the first cup is the most assertive, while later refills become progressively softer and more nuanced. For a smoother profile, the Roasted (tostado) or Aged varieties are worth exploring.
Yes — Yerba Mate naturally contains caffeine, along with theobromine and theophylline. The caffeine content varies with preparation, water temperature, and steep time. This is not a caffeine-free product and is not suitable for those who need to avoid caffeine entirely.
Traditional gourd method: Fill a gourd half to two-thirds full, tilt to slope the leaves, cool-water prime the empty space, insert the bombilla, then add water at 70–80°C (not boiling). Sip and refill repeatedly. French press: Use 1–2 tablespoons per cup of 70–80°C water, steep 3–5 minutes, press, and pour. Infuser or teapot: Use a fine-mesh infuser with the same ratio and temperature. Always avoid boiling water — it scorches the leaves and extracts excessive bitterness.
The Herbal Connection carries a full certified organic Yerba Mate range in both loose leaf and tea bag formats: Yerba Mate Organic (this product), Yerba Mate Aged Organic (smooth, earthy, wood-rested), Yerba Mate Roasted Organic (toasty, mellow, hojicha-like), Yerba Mate Mornings Organic (blended with added botanicals), Yerba Mate Focus Organic (with Ginkgo Biloba, Bacopa, and Lemon Myrtle), and Yerba Mate Powder Organic. Tea bag versions of most varieties are also available in 100-pack bulk packs.
Yerba Mate Organic is available in 250g, 500g, 1kg, and 5kg bulk packs. The 5kg is bulk packed, not individual units. For larger volume or ongoing wholesale supply, please contact our office directly. We ship Australia-wide from our Gold Coast warehouse.
