The aroma profile of Blood Orange Yerba Mate

The moment you open the pouch, citrus takes centre stage. The orange peel releases a sun-drenched scent, immediately lifted by a bright hint of lime. In the background, the green yerba mate brings its vegetal signature: lightly herbaceous, almost rustic.

The top notes are unmistakably fruity: juicy orange zest, a flash of citrus, the freshness of sun-ripened fruit. This vivid opening is instantly inviting.

The heart reveals the character of the mate: a tonic greenness, fresh leaf notes, a herbaceous quality that gives the infusion structure without overwhelming it. Green Rooibos softens the whole, lending roundness and a lingering finish.

The finish is gentle and faintly honeyed, thanks to the marigold flowers. Citrus returns in a soft echo, leaving a persistent feeling of freshness. A cup that is both energising and indulgent, balancing brightness with comfort.

How to brew Blood Orange Yerba Mate

Preparation makes all the difference. Here are the brewing guidelines recommended by our team:

Water temperature: 212°F / 100°C (just-boiled)
Quantity: 14 to 17 g per litre, roughly 1 heaped tablespoon per 8 oz / 250 ml cup
Steeping time: 5 to 10 minutes, depending on desired strength
Re-steeping: the leaves hold up well for a second infusion with a slightly longer steep

For a traditional South American approach, you can brew this mate in a gourd with a bombilla (filtered straw). In this case, use slightly cooler water (around 165–175°F / 75–80°C), poured gradually over the leaves for successive infusions throughout the morning.

For a quick, modern brew, a tea infuser or filter teapot works perfectly. Strain after a maximum of 10 minutes to avoid any bitterness. If you enjoy more intense fruity profiles, try our Maté Fruity Boost.

Benefits and tradition of yerba mate

Yerba mate has been traditionally consumed across South America for its stimulating properties. It naturally contains mateine, a molecule closely related to caffeine, which contributes to alertness and the reduction of fatigue according to the EFSA.

It is valued for its gradual, sustained energy, without the sharp spike associated with coffee. The orange peel adds a comforting warmth, traditionally linked to the convivial morning ritual. The ANSES recommends moderate consumption of beverages containing natural stimulants.

Julien Huot, owner of Thés & Traditions, personally selects every batch to ensure consistent quality. To learn more, read our article on yerba mate and our article on the origins of green yerba mate. Enjoy this infusion as an energising morning ritual.

Storage

To preserve the bright citrus aromas and the freshness of the green mate, store your blend in its original tin or an airtight container, away from light, heat and moisture. For the best aromatic experience, enjoy within 18 months of opening. Carefully packaged in our workshop.
