What is the mate?
Neither a tea nor a coffee? What is it then ?
Originally from Latin America, the mate comes from a plant that is consumed in a traditional way in infusion in a calabash, using a filter straw. 🧉
Very popular throughout the South American continent, its consumption now extends beyond the oceans!
What are the benefits of the mate?
The mate has lots of benefits, which make him an excellent alternative to coffee. Here are the 4 most important:
💥 Long -lasting energy, healthy.
The mate is rich in caffeine (much less than in coffee) and in theobromine. The latter will energize the body without causing a peak of excitement / fatigue like coffee, which allows you to hold all day! The mate allows you to awaken the body in a gentle way.
💪 A super food full of benefits
Due to its properties, the Maté Yerba is considered to be a superfood. It is a versatile plant, rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, potassium, iron, magnesium, chlorophyll, flavonoids, trace elements, tannins and essential amino acids.
🌱 Excellent antioxidant
Mate has such a concentration of polyphenols that it is 90% more antioxidant than tea! Enough to protect your cells from premature aging. 💚
🏃🏼♀️ Burnt fat
The mate accelerates metabolism and burns more calories (especially when you play sports!). According to several studies carried out, people consuming mate will burn on average 23% more fat than an average person.
What taste has the mate?
Its taste is indescribable, you have to taste it to get an idea!
We could locate it halfway between tea and coffee. Its taste varies according to the composition of the mate (leaf, rod, etc.), its method of preparation, refining ... in short, a great diversity of possible, but always so inimitable tastes! 🌿
