Green Mate: discover its origins and history

Originating from South America, green mate is a traditional drink with powerful aromas. Recognized for its many virtues, this beverage is often used particularly in weight loss diets. Often described as tea, it should not be mistaken: green yerba mate is not tea. The leaves used do not belong to the same family, in reality. This organic green tea is also called "Jesuits' Tea" or "Brazilian Tea" and is made from a plant: yerba mate. Discover the history of mate and learn all its secrets!

Green Mate, Brazilian origins

Mate is a detox infusion straight from South America, made from the leaves of the Yerba Mate plant. This drink is not only consumed in Latin America but has been exported far beyond, it is traditionally drunk in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon and Syria. Its virtues have also appealed to Westerners and we consume it more and more often. Its origins go back to the culture of the Guarani Native Americans who used to infuse the leaves of the plant. Mate is one of the drinks that contain caffeine: it is therefore a stimulant. Where does its nickname come from? From the word "mati", which is a kind of gourd used for the preparation of mate.

Difference between green or roasted mate

There are different forms of mate tea. Brown mate, for example, has undergone roasting, which gives it a more toasted taste. Specifically, how is this particular mate made? It is exposed to direct fire, which gives it this stronger and smoky aroma. This is the same process used in the production of coffee, cocoa, or beer.

Green Mate: the benefits of tea and its virtues

Mate enthusiasts appreciate it for its unique flavor but also for its many health benefits. Firstly, like tea or coffee, it has great stimulating properties. Very effective in fighting fatigue, it is ideal for a good boost in the morning. A cup of mate tea therefore offers you the same benefits as tea or coffee at breakfast! Like tea, mate leaves provide antioxidant properties, and thus have a detoxifying effect on the body. Furthermore, mate, when consumed regularly, would also be a powerful ally against bad cholesterol in the long term. Finally, one of its most sought-after advantages: mate has beneficial effects in the context of weight loss. It indeed helps to fight against water retention. It also contains many vitamins: vitamin A, vitamin C among others.

Why choose an organic green mate?

The medicinal virtues are even more important when you choose organic tea. Why? It's important to know that tea leaves are not rinsed before infusion. By choosing organic yerba mate, you have the assurance of not finding pesticides in your cup. You thus enjoy a better quality tea, with preserved aromas. The benefits of green tea are thus much more pronounced when you consume an organic herbal tea.

Green mate herbal tea: how to prepare it?

Would you like to taste organic green mate tea but you're wondering how to prepare this infusion? Follow our advice to enjoy all the virtues of tea. Traditionally, mate is prepared using a gourd and a bombilla. But fortunately, you can also consume it in the Western way and prepare it like tea. However, know that mate leaves can be infused several times. You can also consume it hot or cold. In any case, you will be able to enjoy its refreshing action.

Green mate for weight loss

Mate has long been renowned for being a powerful ally for weight loss. Why? First, for its diuretic effect. Drinking mate tea helps eliminate water that accumulates under the skin. This allows for deep drainage. But its appetite-suppressing aspect is also highly sought after: rather than snacking on cookies, a good cup of organic green mate tea helps fill your stomach. Obviously, it is recommended to drink it without sugar to enjoy its weight benefits.
