What is Herba Mate?

Herba Mate is a unique and invigorating herbal drink, meticulously crafted by The Brothers & made for those who are looking for a natural boost of energy.

This special blend combines traditional South American Yerba Mate with a refreshing organic spearmint, plus the added benefits of USDAorganic full-spectrum hemp (straight from our friends at East Fork Cultivars). Packed with antioxidants, cannabinoids, and powerful plant metabolites, Herba Mate is made to support a holistic wellness experience, catering to both body and mind & offering a subtle, yet profound shift in your daily mental focus.

What does Herba Mate taste like?

Herba Mate is similar to an earthy green tea with a sweet note of spearmint. Yerba mate itself is typically a bitter, earthy flavor due to its high content of tannins.

We highly recommend adding honey to your Herba Mate (or even better, CBD honey!) if you prefer a sweeter tea. It is an excellent tea to brew hot, add honey, and allow to chill. From there, pour over ice and enjoy!

Tasting Notes: Grassy, earthy, minty. 

What is in Herba Mate?

We use organic herbs at every step of the way in Herba Mate. These include:

• South American Yerba Mate: At the heart of Herba Mate is the traditionally celebrated Yerba Mate, known for its rich cultural history in South America, as well as and health benefits. Our Yerba Mate is naturally aged, which allows it to develop mild flavors and a delicate aroma.
• Organic Spearmint: To enhance the flavor and brightness of each cup, we’ve added organic spearmint. Spearmint is one of our favorite herbs at The Brothers, offering a refreshing and cooling taste that perfectly complements the earthy tones of Yerba Mate. Spearmint is also appreciated for its soothing properties and support of a healthy digestive system.
• USDA Organic Full-Spectrum Hemp: Sourced from East Fork Cultivars in the fertile Illinois River Valley in Oregon, the hemp in Herba Mate is follows the same stringent quality standards we hold for every CBD tea in the shop. At about 30mg per bag, depending on the batch, our patent-pending infusion process adds a hempy, centering quality to each cup. This helps Herba Mate be an excellent choice when you’re looking for clean, clear energy and focus.

What are the Benefits of Herba Mate?

Herba Mate is designed to offer a range of benefits, thanks to its carefully selected ingredients. Due to the caffeine content of a cup of Yerba mate, which is typically equal to or more than a cup of coffee (varies widely on preparation!), it’s important to note that this is, overall, an energizing tea.

• Natural Energy and Focus: Yerba Mate is famed for its natural energizing properties. It can provide a gentle yet effective boost in energy and mental clarity, making it a great alternative to coffee or overly-sugary energy drinks.
• Digestive Health: The organic spearmint in Herba Mate is not only refreshing but also traditionally used to support digestive health. It can help soothe the stomach, promote healthy digestion, and complements the effects of yerba mate by stimulating both the mind and one’s olfactory sense.
• Stress Relief and Calm: East Fork’s unrivaled organic  hemp contributes to the calming effects of Herba Mate. While our utilized strains vary from time to time, we select each based on their potential to promote relaxation and aid in stress management.
• Antioxidant Properties: Yerba Mate is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidant intake may help the body in combative oxidative stress. They are also known to support overall cellular health. This can contribute to a feeling of vitality and well-being.

When Should I Drink CBD Yerba Mate?

Herba Mate is a versatile beverage, ideal for various times and occasions. Typically, we recommend drinking in the morning, during your afternoon slump, or whenever you need a little extra mental boost.

• Morning Start: Replace your regular morning coffee with Herba Mate for a natural and sustained energy boost. Yerba mate typically contains about the same caffeine as a cup of coffee, but sometimes much more. Remember: you can get multiple brews out of a single tea bag!
• Pre-Workout: Drinking Herba Mate before a fitness routine can help support a increase in energy and endurance. In fact, mate is among the most popular pre-workout energy drinks due to its caffeine content.
• Afternoon Pick-Me-Up: If you’re hitting a midday slump, Herba Mate may be a useful ally. Its combination of energizing Yerba Mate and soothing spearmint can rejuvenate your senses and refresh your mind.
• Stressful Days: While Yerba Mate is stimulating, organic spearmint is soothing and centering. The addition of cannabinoids like CBD, as well as the terpenes found in hemp, can also help provide a sense of calm. So, though this tea likely won’t be something before bed, it can provide a unique experience: mental focus and a sense of center.

In summary, Herba Mate offers a unique and harmonious blend of natural energy, digestive health support, stress relief, and antioxidant benefits. Whether you’re looking to replace your morning coffee, seeking a natural boost in your workout routine, or simply need a moment of calm in your busy day, Herba Mate provides a balanced, refreshing, and healthful solution. Enjoy the distinctive flavors and embrace the holistic benefits of this carefully crafted herbal drink.
