The exotically fresh mate variety from Brazil. Ingredients: Mate, blackberry leaves, apple cubes, mango flakes, flavouring, banana chips (banana, coconut oil), tangerine pieces, marigold blossoms. Mate contains 1.5% more caffeine than black and green tea. More than 20 amino acids, vitamins B1, B2, and C, as well as mineral salts and sugars. It has been scientifically proven that mate has a particularly stimulating effect on muscles, nerves and the brain, but does not strain the heart. Mate is very digestive and, despite its sugar content, surprisingly supports fat reduction in the body.
As mate consumption can naturally suppress hunger, health-conscious people have recently discovered and come to appreciate this drink. What should you do when using the calabash for the first time? An example from Argentina: First, take the usual charcoal starters, such as those used for lighting a charcoal grill, light them and let them glow in the calabash for 30 seconds. Then add 2 tablespoons of mate with hot water to the calabash and let it steep in the calabash for 3 days. Pour out and let it steep again with mate tea, 2 tablespoons and hot water for another 3 days. Only on the 7th day is the calabash ready for the first fresh mate infusion. We wish you much fun and enjoyment!
