Mate green

Mate Green is an infusion product derived from the dried leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant, commonly known as yerba mate. This beverage is traditionally prepared by soaking the dried leaves in hot water, although it can also be made with cold water for a variation known as terer?. - Leaves: The primary component of yerba mate, the leaves contain essential oils and active compounds that contribute to the tea's unique flavor and stimulating effects. The size of the leaves can vary, with finely cut leaves producing a stronger, more robust flavor and larger leaves resulting in a milder tea. - Stems (Palos): The stems add a woody, mild flavor and help balance the bitterness of the leaves. They also affect the texture of the mate, influencing how the tea flows through the bombilla (metal straw). - Dust (Polvo): The dust, consisting of fine particles of leaves and stems, enhances the flavor and color of the mate. It absorbs water quickly, releasing flavors rapidly during the initial pours of hot water.
