What is Yerba Mate? – Rahi Daneshmand, Founder of Virtue Drinks 

Yerba mate is a naturally energising herbal tea, which has lots of major health benefits. It is often dubbed “drink of the gods”. The drink offers the strength of coffee, health benefits of tea and the euphoria of chocolate.

Originating from South America, where it is the traditional uplifting drink of choice and outsells coffee 8:1 in countries including Argentina, Uruguay & Paraguay. The yerba mate drinking ritual represents unity as it brings people together. Typically, it is served in a gourd through a metal straw. In recent years it has become very popular in ready to drink formats in the US ($350m+ spent on yerba mate annually) and across Europe.
