A LITTLE HISTORY
The use of Yerbamate among the native Guarani indian from Northern Argentina,Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay was due to two purposes, as a nutrient and as part of their diet, and for healthful purposes. New people coming into those countries, mostly immigrants from Europe, adopted this wonderful tea. Today the people of Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Peru, have made it part of their daily diet. We drink it several times a day. In our case more than 6 times daily. It is a powerful antioxidant, and also it is used to boost immunity, reduce the effects of debilitating disease, eliminate insomnia, and so forth. We have available upon request specific information about properties of yerbamate in an effort to see if it qualifies for your diet.

YERBA MATE IN OUR DAILY LIFE

OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Our method, since it is part of my personal diet and the diet of my family,and that we consider very effective, is to drink 1-3 cups for breakfast , replacing coffee, and later on the day 2-4 times more every day of the week.

We have Yerba Mate Tea for breakfast, with cream or milk and use stevia or sugar or well plain, without sweeteners. For breakfast, we can also have toasts , butter, marmalade, honey or any other jam to make a very nutritious morning start. And because is so delicious we always have more than one cup- During the rest of the day we use a gourd with a bombilla, if we are at home, and drink it from 5/6 times during the day.
If we go to our office, we take with us a box of mate tea bags ( mate cocido) and fix it like a regular black tea bags, on a cup of hot boiling water . During summer time it can be drunk cold with ice, or orange peels- You will be surprise how good it taste !.- For those who are looking to use it for health purpose only we recommend the approach to steep about two tablespoons 4-5 minutes in 16-32 ounces of water, and drink this daily, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Dieters drink one cup of tea 10-15 minutes before meals. We highly recomend making yerba mate tea a vital part of your diet.You will notice the difference !
