"This tea is wonderful. Relaxing and just the thing to sit down and quietly enjoy by yourself or with others."

Lynn Martens - New Zealand

Sunshine Yerba Maté is a stimulating and nutritious beverage brewed from the leaves of a small tree native to

Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil.

In many parts of South America, yerba mate is much more popular than coffee, it is a energy herb.

Yerba mate has about as much caffeine as green tea. The caffeine's found in coffee, green tea, and chocolate have slightly different chemical structures and effects on the mind and body.

Sunshine Yerba Maté are sharing the wonderful benefits and energising flavour of the yerba maté tree in which the whole of the plant is used. It  contains the stem and powder as well as leaf, giving a more subtle flavour.

​

 Pronounced yuh·buh ma·tei, it originates from  South America where traditionally it is drunk through a tea straw known as a bombilla.

Yerba maté is a tea containing vitamins , minerals , amino acids and antioxidants. The set of substances in yerba maté gives it a natural

anti-fatigue and energizing action with a general tonic-stimulating action, activator of the central nervous system and in particular of the cerebral cortex that stimulates psychic functions, improves attention and the association of ideas.

​

The leaves are dried typically over fire. Sunshine Yerba Maté is organically dried using hot air using a unique drying system. In this way, we obtain a smoke-free product, with a mild flavour and a delicate aroma.
