Yerba Mate

While not a traditional tea, Yerba Mate shares many qualities with green tea and is loved for its clean, steady energy. Yerba Mate has long been enjoyed across South America as a vibrant, energizing social beverage, and it’s easy to see why it continues to win over new tea lovers. At The Tiny Tea Cup, our Yerba Mate offers a naturally bold lift that many people find smooth and steady, without the jittery edge often associated with coffee.

Hot air-dried and never smoked, this herbal beverage from Brazil brews into a cup with a character all its own. The flavor is often compared to green tea, but with a more herbaceous, grassy personality and a deeper, earthy presence.

Enjoy it hot, pour it over ice, or mix it with fruit juices for an extra-refreshing energy boost. Since it contains a high level of caffeine, we’d save this one for daytime sipping rather than a nighttime wind-down.
