Maté is a revitalising herbal beverage. The leaves grow naturally in the subtropical iron-red soil of South America where maté has been enjoyed locally over the centuries. Maté is recognised around the world for its valuable nutrients and anti-oxidants and today millions benefit from its many virtues. Maté has been aptly called "Nature's most perfect beverage".
The maté leaves are sourced in the Alto Paraná region on an estate that has pioneered organic farming. In keeping with traditional methods, the maté leaves are smoke-dried and then stored at the oldest maté mill in the area to allow the distinctive flavour to develop.
How to prepare mate "the South American way": 1. Fill 2/3 of the gourd or vessel with Ché Maté® leaves, 2. cover the mouth of the gourd with your hand and shake it gently in a horizontal position. 3. This will bring the fine leaves to the top. 4. When the vessel is turned upright, the maté leaves will have formed a slope. 5. Add a splash of water on the lower part of the slope only, and leave for a few moments. 6. Insert the filtering straw (bombilla) into the damp leaves, covering the end of the straw with your thumb – this will prevent the straw from becoming clogged. 7. Pour freshly heated water – never boiled – on to the wet leaves taking care that the vessel does not overflow. Without moving the straw sip the maté through it. If you hear a gurgling sound the gourd is empty. Refill and repeat until the flavour of the maté diminishes. If desired, add milk or fruit juice along with the water, and herbs or sugar may be added to taste. Maté can also be prepared using chilled water.
