Mate

Yerba Mate, roasted varieties and accessories

Yerba Mate is made from the leaves of the South American mate plant. Depending on the variety, the taste can be fresh, tart, warm, roasted or lightly smoky.

This category combines Mate Tea and matching accessories. You will find selected varieties as well as calabashes, bombillas and practical tools for traditional or simple preparation.

Green, roasted or traditionally prepared

Green mate usually tastes fresh and slightly tart. Roasted varieties bring warmer, nuttier or gently smoky notes to the cup. This lets you choose between a clearer or fuller flavour profile.

Traditionally, Yerba Mate is infused in a calabash and drunk through a bombilla. For everyday use, it can also be prepared with a tea strainer, filter or teapot.

Accessories for Mate Tea

A calabash serves as the traditional drinking vessel, while a bombilla works as a drinking straw with an integrated filter. Together, they shape the classic way of drinking mate.

If you are trying it for the first time, you do not need a full set right away. A tea strainer or filter is enough for a simple cup at home.
