Fresh Green Yerba Mate Tea Bags – 100% Organic
Why Does Our Fresh Green Yerba Mate Tastes So Good?
We do not age our Yerba Mate:
All other yerba mate sold in the USA is aged for 1-2 years before being packaged, according to cultural traditions from Paraguay, Uraguay and Argentina. However, in Brazil, mate is commonly prefered as fresh as possible. The Mate Factor prefers this style, since it preserves the life-giving nutrients and the fresh green taste.
Our Yerba Mate Process is an Art:
We have spent years perfecting the “art” of creating delicately delicouse Yerba Mate. We have painstakingly learned the vast array of factors that control the final flavor and vibrance, in order to produce, The Mate Factor.
No Smoky Flavor:
We dry our Mate; using an art we have developed that preserves the natural flavor and also keeps our original green flavor Mate tea free from smoke. This low heat process protects natural enzymes that exist in yerba mate.
100% Certified Organic:
We use one hundred percent certified organic Yerba Mate, responsibly grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, preserving the environment where our Mate is grown.
Ingredients:
100% Certified Organic Fresh Green Brazilian Yerba Mate;. (Never Smoked Never Aged)

This doesn’t taste like the Yerba Mate I am used to (which is probably a good thing). It doesn’t have nearly the smoky/earthy quality that mate normally has. No bitterness at all. It tastes kind of like mate crossed with green tea. This is something I will actually drink for the flavor, not just the effects of the mate. Prepared with stevia.
Just enjoying some iced yerba mate mixed with lemonade right now. It is hard to avoid this drink, even if it is kind of cold out.
This time I prepared my yerba mate in my espresso machine, pulled a long double shot (4 ounces), poured over ice in a pint glass, and filled to the top with lemonade. Delicious.
This is a good mate, with a very fresh, clean taste similar to most brazilian types of yerba mate – but the cycle (in the gourd) didn’t last for more than 1.5 liters. The flavor weakened very quickly, compared to a majority of mates I’ve had before. Still a good mate for beginners, though.
Flavors: Freshly Cut Grass, Herbaceous
Another tea from a vacation. They only had 12 oz. packages or tea bags. I choose the 12 oz. package. YIKES! That’s a lot of tea! Luckily, I like the tea! It’s very green and fresh! There’s no overly vegetal smell or taste. I’ve tried it with several different flavorings and sweeteners and have enjoyed them all. (Vanilla cream Stevia, Chocolate Stevia, Maple syrup, Strawberry Chocolate Stevia) I really enjoy mates and their caffeine which makes this a tea I’ll keep in my cupboard for a long time. Re-steeps well.
Flavors: Green
Wow! 12oz is a lot of tea good thing it’s 100 worthy
LOL! No kidding! I will be using it for a lot of swaps as well as having plenty for the next year or so… Did you want any? I think I owe you some from your last very generous swap. I don’t need anything in return. :)
Nope, you will never owe me. I don’t think I could ever catch up with what I owe you,you’ve reached Grandma status with my son. I think I can wait, Thank you :)
I drink this yerba mate almost every day. Although I sometimes prefer other brands, Mate Factor is very consistent in it’s flavor and has a robust vegetale taste that is not astringent. It soothes the taste buds, and is definitely mellow in comparison to other yerba mates. It can hold a consistent flavor for about 4 or 5 steeping sessions depending on the amount of yerba in the gourd. If using a larger gourd you may get up to 8 solid sessions before the flavor begins to waver.
