Ingredients & lore

Blended with toasted mate tea, black tea, cocoa nibs, cinnamon, kola nuts inclusion and safflower

The first people who drank Yerba Mate are the indigenous forest people of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. They called it the “Drink of the Gods,” and believed it significantly improved their stamina and overall health. When the Spanish colonisers arrived in Argentina and conquered the Guarani tribes, the Conquistadors were struck by the robust stature and extreme stamina of the locals. The Guarani told the Spaniards the secret is the tea they drink every day. According to their beliefs, they explained, a god had given the Yerba Mate tree (whose leaves are used for the drink) as a reward to their ancestors for their righteous behaviour.
