GUAYAKI YERBA MATE BRASIL PRODU AO

Yerba mate (yer-bah ma-tay), known scientifically as Ilex paraguariensis, is a tree of the holly family that is native to the Atlantic Forest of South America. The knowledge that enabled the dissemination of the consumption and use of yerba mate originates from the Guarani (gwar-a-nee) people. Indigenous Peoples, including Guarani , Kaingang (kai-gan-g), Aché (a-chay) , and other cultures, continue to value the plant for its sacred properties and its ability to naturally energize. 5.

For our yerba mate, the leaves are dried after harvesting at different partner facilities in Argentina and Paraguay, and at our own facility in Turvo, Paraná, Brazil. Guayakí Yerba Mate is air dried so it is smoke-free and safe from PAHs, which are chemical substances resulting from burnt matter that can be harmful to health. Drying follows the traditional process and is done in two steps: a first flash drying, called , and then slow drying, or , that can take several hours. Many people enjoy it as mate or chimarrão, a hot infusion of the loose leaves in a gourd (mate [ma-tay] or cuia [ku-yah]) with a metal straw called a bombilla (bom-bee-yah) or bomba (bom-ba), as a cold infusion, called tereré, or as a hot or iced tea. , Luiz, R. https://ainfo. cnptia. br/digital/bitstream/item/245283/1/EmbrapaFlorestas-2022-Documentos374. pdf 9. , Eibl, B. , & Barth, S.

It is traditionally shared communally amongst a circle of friends and/or family members, which involves passing a gourd for drinking mate around the group during conversations, storytelling and discussions. The original purpose of the circle, known as a or , was to stay around the fire and keep the water hot in the kettle. Today, with thermoses, the fire is no longer needed, but the tradition remains , and the practice has forged a community that stretches across the entire globe. For both, the tree is a sacred aspect of daily life, and it is used and consumed in a range of different rituals. Nowadays, it is consumed daily in different ways by many people in South America, from Indigenous and traditional communities to urban and rural dwellers, young and old. Within the yerba mate plant is a combination of caffeine (also found in coffee), theobromine (also found in chocolate), and polyphenols (also found in green tea). As any yerba mate lover will tell you, it provides a uniquely smooth boost of energy and focus. You can drink it as a tea brewed how you prefer, or you can try the traditional method in a gourd as shown below
