YERBA FRESHNESS DATING
Almost all of our teas come with a freshness dating stamp on the bag itself, from the production source. This date is stamped not only to meet
export requirements, but also to show an ideal date by which to consume the yerbamate. Yerbamate is consumed years after it is processed
and packaged, without reporting any noticeable changes in taste and freshness. It is very common in South America to consume yerbamate
which is several years old. As always, we stand behind our products and their freshness with our full guarantee.
YERBA PROPERTIES
This remarkable tea is known as an appetite suppressant, physical rejuvenator, mood raiser and stimulant,
stress reliever, fine muscle relaxant, diuretic, and is also said to heighten sexual stamina, mental concentration, and stabilize breathing rhythm,
help as a coffee substitute, and to quicken the process of physical recovery. Some of this no doubt has to do with
the great array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and polyphenols which yerba mate contains....

Caffeine content:
The tea contains roughly 1% available caffeine (mateine) in the dry, ground tea--when
extracted with warm to hot water; the available percentage rises from 2 to 5%
when extracted with boiling water: which we, of course, do not recommend [see "Serving Mate".]
