Mateina's Yerba Mate is cultivated by a fourth generation farming family in Argentina who practice an organic, fair trade and sustainable agriculture. More precisely, in the province of Misiones, Argentina.
Our Yerba Mate is cultivated with respect for the native forests. The chosen method allows a natural and sustainable cohabitation between the different botanical species.
Most of the world's Yerba Mate is processed using a heavily smoked drying system that uses burnt wood to dry the mate leaves. This drying method is known to produce a Yerba Mate that contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chemicals that have been shown to be carcinogenic if consumed in high concentrations.
Our Yerba Mate is 100% air dried through a process that use warm air instead of smoke. That drying system enable the leaves to be free of PAHs. This creates a safe, healthy and light tasting yerba mate.
Here's why it's very important to avoid smoked Yerba Mate Tea.
