Product Use |
Yerba mate is a type of herbal tea made from the leaves and twigs of the Ilex paraguariensis plant. It is primarily grown and harvested in South America, specifically in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil.
The production of yerba mate involves several steps. Firstly, the leaves and twigs of the plant are harvested by hand or with a special harvesting machine. The collected leaves and twigs are then dried over a fire, which gives yerba mate its distinctive smoky flavor. After drying, the leaves and twigs are crushed into small pieces, which are then stored in large containers.The sourcing of yerba mate is an important aspect of its production. The plant only grows in a specific climate, with rich soil and abundant rainfall. It is also affected by the altitude at which it is grown, as well as the type of tree it is grown under. The best quality yerba mate comes from trees that are at least 20 years old and grown in the shade of other trees.
