Organic loose-leaf yerba mate: our energising selection
At Thés & Traditions, organic yerba mate in bulk is an invitation to gentle energy. This traditional South American drink, made from the leaves of Ilex paraguariensis, has accompanied mornings and moments of sharing in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil for centuries. We have brought together a selection of organic mate, weighed and prepared in our workshop, to offer you a quality yerba mate, certified organic, delivered to your door with care.
Whether you are looking for a lively traditional green mate to start the day, a softer roasted version, or a fruit-flavoured mate to vary the pleasure, you will find the reference that suits you below — available online, loose, in the format you prefer.
Why choose our organic mate?
Choosing organic mate means choosing a yerba mate grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, respecting South American soils and ecosystems. It is also the assurance of a leaf whose taste expresses itself fully, with no unwanted residues. Every reference in our shop is certified organic.
- Careful origin: an Argentine and South American mate selected for its freshness and character, in a fair-trade spirit.
- Loose-leaf quality: weighed and packed in our workshop, for a fresher yerba mate than industrial bags.
- Natural energy: mate is a natural source of caffeine (mateine), ideal during the day for focus.
- Sustainable choice: by favouring organic, you support more respectful growing methods.
How to choose your organic mate?
The right mate mostly depends on your taste and the time of day. Here are our simple pointers:
- Green mate (unroasted): vegetal, lively flavour and the most direct energising effect — perfect in the morning.
- Roasted mate: heat-treated, with softer, grilled notes, rounder on the palate.
- Flavoured mate: paired with fruit or citrus, more indulgent, ideal for discovering the drink gently.
As for format, loose leaf remains the most advantageous: you adjust the quantity, reduce packaging and enjoy better value for money. Each reference has its own dedicated product page, with its price by weight.
Our mate flavours: find yours
Each mate has its own temperament. Traditional green mate charms with its vegetal freshness and a well-controlled light bitterness, the signature of authentic mate leaf. Roasted mate softens that bitterness in favour of grilled, almost comforting notes. For a gentle introduction, our flavoured mates blend yerba mate with notes of fruit, citrus or spices: a delicious way to tame this characterful drink. Whatever you choose, you find the natural energy of mate and the richness of the leaf, simply tuned to your taste.
Iced mate and tereré: the refreshing version
When the warm season returns, mate can also be enjoyed cold. Tereré, prepared with cold water (often with a splash of fruit juice or a few mint leaves), is the ultimate thirst-quencher in South America. A homemade iced mate, brewed then chilled, offers the same gentle energy with a welcome freshness. Our organic mate in bulk, green or flavoured, lends itself to it perfectly: the ideal drink for hot days, with no added sugar and full of flavour.
Mate as a gift: a lovely idea
Mate also makes a lovely gift to share a ritual full of warmth. A set pairing organic loose-leaf mate with a gourd and a bombilla makes an original, complete present, perfect for the curious and for lovers of drinks from elsewhere. It is offering a moment of sharing as much as a drink.
Accessories for enjoying mate
Traditional tasting comes with two emblematic accessories: the gourd (calabash, often a dried squash, in ceramic or glass) and the bombilla, the metal filtering straw that lets you drink mate without swallowing the leaves. A gourd-and-bombilla kit is ideal to begin the ritual; if you prefer a simpler preparation, an infuser or teapot will do for everyday use.
Preparing and savouring your mate
The golden rule: hot water between 70 and 80 °C, never boiling, to preserve the aromas and the comfort of tasting. Let it brew, then enjoy — alone or shared. To go further, discover our dedicated guides:
