Organic Yerba Mate Tamarind 300ml

South African's first sparkling yerba maté. Tamarind is a tangy fruit flavour with a subtle undertone of cola. Many people say it tastes deeply familiar and yet completely new at the same time. It blends perfectly with the richness of yerba maté - making this drink an amazing afternoon pick-me-up or fuel for an active adventure.

Wildwood yerba maté contains a bit more caffeine than a cup of coffee, and from all-natural sources. Unlike coffee, however,  you’ll find that yerba maté offers sustained and balanced energy without an afternoon crash.

The tradition of yerba maté has been alive for centuries. Enjoyed for its stimulating effects, maté is known as a social drink to be shared among friends. The tea leaves are hand picked from a holly tree (Ilex paraguariensis) that is one of the only natural producers of caffeine in the world - alongside the coffee bean, cacao bean, and cola nut.

The benefit of yerba maté extends beyond the energy it gives you. Yerba maté offers a high level of anti-oxidants, even higher than that of green tea. Anti-oxidants are substances that combat inflammation, cell damage, and even risk of cancer by eliminating free radicals in your body. Other sources of anti-oxidants include blueberries, dark chocolate, and kale. Maté can also help improve metabolism and support weight loss. Several studies have found appetite-reducing effects, and improved fat-burn during exercise after consuming maté. Whether the traditional cultures that consumed maté knew about all of its benefits is up for debate, but it’s safe to say they were onto something great.
