Mate/Yerba Mate, 100g

Green Mate This tea has been enjoyed for centuries in many South American countries. Traditionally, mate is drunk through a straw (bombilla) from a hollowed-out gourd (calabash). Its earthy flavor is equally delightful in a classic teacup. Preparation: 1 heaping teaspoon per 250 ml Steeping time: 3–5 minutes Water temperature: 70–80°C
