Kosher certified and naturally caffeinated – one of the few caffeinated options available in a loose leaf herbal programme. A distinctive menu addition for cafés and hospitality operators seeking an alternative to traditional tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup is a warm golden-amber with a herbaceous, mildly earthy character and a clean, slightly grassy finish. The lower brewing temperature – 70 to 80 °C – produces a smoother cup than black tea. The flavour is distinctive and well suited to a daytime menu slot where a caffeinated non-tea option adds variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Yerba Mate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYerba Mate is a plant native to the subtropical regions of South America, particularly Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It has a long cultural tradition as a social beverage prepared in a Calabash gourd with a filtered straw (Bombilla). For café service, it performs well as a straightforward loose leaf infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep 2.5 g per 200 ml at 70 to 80 °C for 3 to 5 minutes.
