Yerba Mate Herbal Tea

Our Yerba Mate tea bags are made from the finest quality selected leaves of the evergreen rainforest holly (Ilex paraguariensis), which are dried, cut and sifted before being placed into our natural fibre tea bags. Available in 10, 20, 50 and 100 teabag pouches, each size offers exceptional quality and value.

Yerba Maté Taste

It is fair to describe Yerba Mate tea as an acquired taste, in a similar vain to olives, having a distinctive smokey flavour that is inoffensive and unique, many find yerba mate to be an incredibly addictive taste after a few cups.

Yerba Mate Stimulant

Containing Three xanthines; caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine Yerba Mate is a powerful stimulant, and widely consumed throughout South America, with 90% of Argentinian adults drinking it in the morning rather than coffee. In Argentina, Yerba Maté is readily available in maté cafés, which are as commonplace as coffee shops and cafés in the UK and North America.

As well as containing caffeine Yerba Mate tea also contains high levels of theophylline, and theobromine, which are the stimulants contained in tea.

Jitter-free Stimulation

Unlike coffee, Yerba Mate doesn't contain concentrated levels of tannin; this means it can be strong, but doesn't get bitter like coffee. Also, Yerba Maté tea won't cause jitters or stomach upsets, as it isn't oily or acidic like coffee.

Yerba mate provides the body with balanced stimulation that many describe as gentle, clean and calm while helping to keep alert, energised and emotionally stable.

Nutritional Benefits of Yerba Mate

Grown at altitudes in the shade the leaves of this rainforest plant naturally contain 24 vitamins and minerals as well as 15 amino acids and an abundance of antioxidants.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN...

We travelled and lived throughout South East Asia, Bali and Europe for over 20 years; it was an incredible experience, and one that helped shape our approach to life: live well, ethically, and to the full. We became increasingly interested in the healing philosophies of different cultures – from Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine right through to ancient South American and European beliefs – and started applying their principles to everyday life.

The impact of taking care of both body and mind was incredible, and we wanted to share what we had learned.

So, in 2011, having grown jaded with expat life in South East Asia, we shed our corporate skin and started sharing all the knowledge and little life hacks we'd picked up on our travels. It soon became apparent there was a need for all the fabulous stuff we raved about. We took the plunge and became a bona fide family business dedicated to organic, natural and herbal products – The Natural Health Market was born!

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy at The Natural Health Market comes back to the revelation we had on our travels: live well, ethically, and to the full. We believe in giving everybody the opportunity to do the same, our organic range of products aligned with the ancient healing philosophies of the world. We work ethically and responsibly, while endeavouring to make a minimal impact on the environment and the communities in which we work.

OUR PRODUCTS

How we source our products is important to us; as a small operation based in South East Asia and the UK, we're able to carefully and conscientiously handpick the farmers and producers we work with. In fact, many of our farmers and producers prefer not to deal with the major national retailers.

We're also licensed organic by The Soil Association as an organic company in Europe, under license number DA25511.

We're really proud of our range at The Natural Health Market; we use our products every day at home and are just as passionate about them now as we were at the beginning. We hope you love using our products as much as we do.

Kind wishes,

Ian and Aon
