Yerba maté (Ilex paraguariensis) has been treasured in South America for centuries as a naturally energising herbal tea — delivering smooth, sustained energy from a unique combination of natural caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline, without the jitteriness or crash associated with coffee. But here's what most people don't know: the vast majority of yerba maté on the market is aged for at least a year before it reaches you — a process that depletes natural enzymes, vitamins, and bio-active compounds, and often involves smoke-drying that gives the tea a harsh, smoky flavour. Mate Factor does things differently. Their yerba maté is processed immediately upon harvest, carefully heat-dried (not smoke-dried) to protect its nutrients and natural flavour, sealed in airtight packaging, and rush exported to preserve every bit of its natural vitality. The result is a genuinely fresh, smooth, smoke-free cup of yerba maté that is richer in antioxidants, polyphenols, and bio-active compounds than conventionally processed maté — and more antioxidant-rich than green tea. Who is this for? Those wanting to try Mate Factor's premium fresh yerba maté before committing to a larger size People who have found conventional yerba maté too smoky or harsh Those looking for clean, sustained energy without coffee jitters or crash People wanting to support mental clarity, focus, and healthy metabolism Those interested in a high-antioxidant alternative to green tea Anyone who values fair trade and ethical sourcing Those wanting a convenient smaller pack for occasional or travel use Key Benefits Fresh-harvested — processed immediately after harvest, not aged Smoke-free — heat-dried to protect nutrients and deliver a clean, smooth flavour Airtight sealed and rush exported — maximum freshness from farm to cup Higher in antioxidants than green tea — rich in polyphenols and bio-active compounds Natural caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline — smooth, sustained energy Supports mental clarity and focus Supports healthy metabolism and weight management Naturally contains Vitamins C, B1, and B2 Rich in minerals — chromium, copper, iron, manganese, potassium, and zinc Contains chlorophyll, pantothenic acid, quercetin, and rutin 100% USDA Organic, certified by Clemson DPI Fair trade sourced — supporting farming communities in South America 100% pure leaf — no fillers, no additives Repackaged from bulk by SuperfoodsNZ — same premium Mate Factor quality in a convenient 100g resealable pack 100g — approximately 33 servings at 1 tbsp daily Contains Caffeine Yerba maté naturally contains caffeine.

How to Brew Tea pot or tea ball: Use 1 tbsp of maté leaves per 360ml (12 oz) of hot (not boiling) water. Steep for 3–5 minutes. Adjust to your preferred strength. French press: Use ¼ cup of maté leaves per litre of hot water. Steep for 3–5 minutes, then press and pour. Coffee maker: Use ¼ cup of maté leaves per litre of water and brew as normal. Traditional gourd (bombilla): Fill a maté gourd two-thirds full with leaves. Insert a bombilla (filtered straw). Pour hot water (around 75–80°C) over the leaves and sip.
