Folks across the United States embark on a daily morning ritual to obtain their caffeine fix. This "fix" usually comes in the form of a hot beverage known as coffee. Coffee is a pick-me-up favorite in offices worldwide, but North Americans typically consume a larger amount of coffee per capita than any other country. In the States, you'll hear "Let's meet over a cup of coffee" or "I've got to get my cup of coffee before I do anything!". However, our neighbors to the south have a different perspective on energizing beverages. In South America, the morning and afternoon beverage of choice is Yerba Mate. In fact, mate bars are as prevelant in South American countries as coffee bars are here in the states. According to a survey conducted by IBOPE Argentina, yerba mate boasts a 92% household consumption rate in Argentina.

Yerba mate is the dried leaves and stems of a South American rainforest holly, and is the national beverage of Paraguay. Yerba Mate is one of the worlds most effective and healing beverages with over 196 active compounds which shadows the active compounds found in Green tea (Camellia sinensis) which has about 144.

Yerba Mate is consumed by millions of South Americans as a healthful alternative to coffee. This stimulating herbal beverage has the unique ability to wake up the mind without the nervousness and jitters associated with coffee. Deemed "The Drink of the Gods" by many indigenous groups in South America, and known as "the green gold of the Indios" by folks in Europe, Yerba Mate possesses a multitude of health benefits that have begun to attract the attention of American scientists and consumers.

Aviva is one of a few companies that harvests, imports, and packages bulk mate from South America. We blend and package our mate under the Aviva brand name which is then distributed to wholesale accounts across the country or sold directly to consumers around the world. This control of the supply chain allows us to insure the highest quality standards during every step of production. Additionally, our yerba is a fresh vivid green color, not a stale yellowish tone. Like typical wine, yerba doesn't necessarily get better with age (although producers stuck with an oversupply that's been sitting in their warehouse for months or even years would like for you to think that!).

Ingredients: 100% premium Aviva wild harvest Yerba Mate.
