While traditional mate is very bitter, our original mate has a balanced taste, halfway between green tea and coffee. It is ideal for discovering mate. Our flavored mates, for their part, have the same taste base as our original mate, but with aromatic variations. Discover our range of mate.
Yes, our mate has all the same benefits: Long-lasting energizing, antioxidant, fat-burning. Moreover, the brands that will tell you their mate has different benefits are liars. Because even when mixed with other ingredients, mate is rarely less than 90% of the total composition.

The world of mate

Known for its energizing benefits, mate is a plant that grows in the border region between Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. Traditionally, mate is consumed in a mate cup (the gourd) and with the help of a filtering straw (the bombilla).

Traditional method

To prepare mate, you need a gourd, a bombilla, and mate.

The mate thermos is also a very useful accessory for re-infusing your mate at any time of the day, without having to reheat water.

Alternative method

Not a fan of the traditional method. In that case, the infuser is a must-have.

There are several types of mate gourds, but the most common are: traditional gourds with a pumpkin interior and stainless steel gourds.

If you want to discover mate, the best option is the stainless steel gourd, as it requires no special maintenance.

We do not recommend traditional pumpkin gourds, as they are very fragile. As for leather-covered pumpkin gourds, we recommend them for experienced users, as you need to cure your gourd before use.

Discover our complete guide to choosing your gourd.

In traditional consumption with gourd and bombilla, we recommend not exceeding 1L of mate per day, which is equivalent to a thermos of mate.
Mate can cause undesirable effects if consumed in excess, like any caffeinated product. As long as mate is consumed in moderation (up to 1L of mate per day), this drink proves to be a true source of benefits.

As a precaution, it is not recommended for children, people with hypertension, and pregnant women (or those who are breastfeeding) to consume mate.
