Holy mate is a blend of herbal teas balanced to offer a harmonious blend of flavors (herby, grassy, clove, with a slight hint of mint) along with invigorating caffeine and ayurvedic health benefits. The blend is primarily made with yerba mate and tulsi, but also includes a small amount of dried peppermint.
Holy mate gets its caffeine content from the yerba mate in the blend, offering about 32mg of caffeine in an 8oz mug made with 3g (about 2 tsp) of leaves. Yerba mate is believed to provide more balanced caffeine with a slower release. See What is Caffeine for more information and beverage caffeine content comparisons.
Yerba mate is also believed to offer other health benefits, such as increasing one’s metabolism and aiding digestion while providing antioxidants, minerals, amino acids and B vitamins.
Tulsi (holy basil) is a central herb in traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine and is believed to have soothing & adaptogenic qualities.
Bulk yerba mate and tulsi are also sold separately.
Storage: Store holy mate leaves in an air-tight container in a cool, dark, dry place (typically a cupboard or pantry).
Shelf Life: Stored properly, holy mate will maintain its flavor and potency for at least a year.
Steep holy mate in hot water using a tea bag, tea basket or French press. Strain out or otherwise remove the leaves and drink the resulting tea as a hot beverage.
We recommend steeping holy mate in hot, but not boiling water (around 185 ˚F) for seven minutes to release its full flavor.
