The Origins and Unique Growing Regions of the Mate Shrub

The authentic Mate tree thrives exclusively in a very specific region of South America. The primary growing areas extend across the subtropical regions of Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. Here, the plant finds exactly the climate it needs to grow: constant, mild temperatures, high humidity, and nutrient-rich, deep soils. The cultivation and harvest look back on a long history, which was established by the indigenous people, the Guaraní. For our loose tea, the branches and leaves are carefully harvested, briefly heated over an open fire to stop fermentation, and then gently dried. Only through this craftsmanship in the countries of origin does the characteristic, tart-spicy aroma unfold, which connoisseurs worldwide appreciate so much.

Why is Loose Mate Tea so Popular Worldwide?

The worldwide enthusiasm for Mate tea is no coincidence. In contrast to many classic herbal teas, Mate is characterized by a natural caffeine content. This makes the drink a popular alternative to coffee or traditional energy drinks. The special feature of Mate, however, is the interaction of its ingredients: the caffeine is bound to tannins and is therefore often perceived by the body as very pleasant, even, and long-lasting. Mate is the ideal companion for long working days, intensive study phases, or simply as an invigorating refreshment in the afternoon. Furthermore, lovers appreciate the multi-layered character of the infusion. The combination of smoky, earthy nuances and a fine, vegetable freshness turns every cup into an exciting taste experience that stands out clearly from other types of tea.

Our Variety of Varieties: From Green and Zesty to Smoky-Mild

In our product range, we carry different variations of the South American classic, ensuring that every tea lover finds the right nuance for their cup. All variations share the high quality typical of our traditional Hanseatic trading house:

Green Mate Tea: This is the classic, unroasted version. The leaves retain their vibrant green color after drying. In taste, this Mate is wonderfully fresh, intensely grassy, and pleasantly tart with a subtle touch of bitterness. Perfect for the traditional infusion.
Roasted Mate Tea: For this specialty, the leaves are gently roasted after drying. This not only changes the color to a deep brown, but also the aroma. The roasted Mate reminds one of caramel, chocolate, and fine roasted notes – a mild, almost malty alternative that can also be enjoyed sweetened with milk.
Flavored Mate Blends: For those who prefer a fruity or fresh note, we offer refined creations. Combining green Mate with zesty elements like lemon, orange, or mint softens the tart base note and provides a refreshing taste experience that is also ideal as a cold drink.

The Correct Preparation: Tradition Meets Modernity

Flexibility in preparation is another reason why so many people buy loose Mate tea. The traditional method provides an authentic South American feeling: a calabash (a hollowed-out gourd) is filled to about two-thirds with loose Mate. The tea is moistened with a little cold water and then poured over with water heated to about 70 to 80 degrees Celsius – never with boiling water, otherwise the tea becomes too bitter. The brew is drunk through a bombilla, a special drinking tube with an integrated strainer. The highlight: the leaves can be infused multiple times (often up to ten times).

For everyday European use, loose Mate tea can also be prepared very easily in a classic teapot, a French press, or with a simple tea strainer. Use about one to two teaspoons per cup, pour hot (no longer boiling) water over it, and let the tea steep between 3 and 5 minutes, depending on the desired intensity.
