Mate tea is still largely unknown in Germany. And that is very surprising! Mate tea has been the most important drink in South America for centuries and is also widely consumed in southern Brazil. This tea contains caffeine and is much better tolerated than coffee because the caffeine is released into the body more slowly than with coffee. Try it out and enjoy your mate!
"Mate" is a very fine tea and is usually served with a metal straw in a container typically made from a calabash gourd. Therefore, we recommend preparing this tea in a "cuia" with a "bomba".
