This South American Green Tea is bold and rich, but contains trace amounts of caffeine. These pure Yerba Mate leaves are deliciously uplifting. This National beverage of Paraguay is from the rainforest holly named for the gourd in which it is served (mate).  Traditionally sipped through a bombilla (straw) shared by the family, Yerba Mate has more active compounds than Green Tea. Contains a small amount of caffeine, organic, cultivated without chemicals.
