Description
With this Raw Mate, Meta Mate have developed a truly unique product. It has some of the highest nutritional content you will find in any Mate, and its smooth, earthy flavour is hard to beat.
The leaves used in this Mate are picked by hand from trees grown in protected forests. This causes no damage to the trees and ensures sustainable Yerba Mate production. Uniquely among other Mates, Raw Mate’s drying process uses very low temperatures (no higher than 45°C). This results in a gentle flavour with absolutely no bitterness, and conserves the high level of vitamins and minerals found in Mate tea.
During production, the Yerba Mate is also thoroughly washed and freeze-dried to lock in its nutritional value. This unique processing method means that Raw Mate is edible – you can sprinkle it on food or add to smoothies to provide a nutritional boost. However, you can equally well prepare it in the traditional manner using a gourd and bombilla.
