Organic Yerba Mate
Certified by ECOCERT, all our mate teas are organically grown, cultivated in agroforests in southern Brazil.
Fairtrade mate
Since 2021, all our mate products have been Fair for Life certified, one of the highest standards of fair trade certification. La Bombilla is one of the only mate brands in Europe to have achieved this certification.
If you are interested, the Fair for Life evaluation criteria are public and available at fairforlife.org.
Smokeless dried yerba mate
In recent years, various studies conducted by scientists in Argentina and Brazil have shown that traditional drying methods for yerba mate (where the leaves are dried over a wood fire and in direct contact with smoke) could be harmful.
For this reason, we have opted for a different drying process for our mate: air drying, without smoke. Dry air drying also has the advantage of softening the taste of the mate.
