The species Ilex Paraguariensis Saint Hilaire, known to us as yerba Mate is native of subtropical areas such as Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.  Originally, yerba mate was used by the guaraní Indians who lived in Argentina’s Mesopotamia and northeast areas, Paraguay and the neighboring regions of Uruguay and Brazil. Its consumption as an infusion has been widened so much that it has become a traditional drink for millions of people regardless of socio-economic and geographical barriers. We have a wide range of yerba mate and energy teas available in Riga stock, which can replace coffee. Yerba Mate contains more antioxidants than green tea.
