100% Certified organic. USDA organic. Unbleached tea bags. Discover Yerba Mate. From South America comes the most amazing, healthy, stimulating drink you may ever experience. Its energizing effects help you get going with increased mental clarity, energy and alertness. Yerba Mate sustains you throughout the day, helping to combat fatigue and sleepiness. The stimulating properties in Yerba Mate are found by most to be free from the unpleasant side effects often associated with coffee and other teas. Yerba Mate is more than just tea - it is one of nature's best sources of antioxidants. Plus its generous supply of vitamins and minerals (including chlorophyll, Vitamins A, B, C, E, magnesium, potassium, iron, pantothenic acid, and much more) make a cup of Mate an excellent immune booster. Yerba Mate is also regarded as one of nature's weight loss secrets by speeding up the metabolism, curbing the appetite and helping the body to release excess calories rather than storing them as fat. Our variety of certified organic mate is not cured with smoke, as is often the tradition, because we prefer the fresh green flavor of the herb. We also choose not the age our Mate' in order to preserve as many of the vital nutrients as possible. Factor = an element that actively contributes to an accomplishment. Mate is the factor in all our tea blends - causing them to be stimulating and healthy. (These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
