Unlike coffee, mate tea provides long-lasting energy without the unpleasant side effects such as nervousness or a sudden energy crash. Thanks to the combination of caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline, mate tea increases mental alertness, improves concentration, and boosts physical performance.
How to prepare the perfect Mate:
To prepare mate, first heat water to about 70–80°C. Then, fill the gourd about two-thirds with mate leaves, cover it, and shake it gently to remove fine dust. Afterward, carefully tilt the gourd so that one side remains filled with mate, and insert the bombilla into the empty side. Now, fill a thermos with the hot water, pour a small amount into the gourd, and drink the first infusion. After that, water is refilled repeatedly, and the mate is enjoyed multiple times.
