Yerba Mate tea is crazy OBSESSable!  I absolutely love it.  My good friend Mehran introduced it to me a few months ago and I have been brewing myself up several cups a day ever since!  Yerba Mate tea is good any time of the day.  Morning, afternoon or night.  I, myself, tend to enjoy it all day long.  If I could carry around an IV of it, I would.   It is invigorating and energizing while at the same time calming and zen like.  It is truly “yoga in a cup”.  I like to add a little honey and rice milk.  You can also add soy milk, regular milk, sugar or sugar substitutes or you can just drink it plain.  Mix it up and see what works for you.  I have been a tea drinker my whole life but have never tasted such a smooth, delicious blend.

I prefer brewing the loose tea, but Yerba Mate tea is also available in bags.  Try it out and let me know what you think!  I hope you love it!

Yerba Mate tea can be found at grocery stores including Whole Foods, Wegmans and Henry’s.
