The key ingredients

• Mate – the base of the blend, known for its bold, grassy flavour
• Lemon peel – adds a gentle citrus brightness
• Flavouring – rounds out the orange aroma
• Sunflower blossoms – give the blend a light floral note and visual appeal
• Guaraná powder – a nutty seed from a vine that grows in the river basin region of Brazil, used for ages by indigenous peoples as a natural energy booster

It is a great choice if you enjoy herbal teas with a twist and are curious about the combination of mate and guaraná. Whether you are new to mate or already a fan of the drink, this orange-flavoured blend offers an approachable and flavourful way to enjoy it.

A good match if you

• Enjoy herbal teas with citrus notes
• Are looking for a loose leaf tea without single-use bags
• Want to try Argentina's national drink in a flavoured version
• Like to experiment with iced tea in warmer months
• Prefer brewing your tea fresh from loose leaves

How do you use yerba mate orange herbal tea?

Brewing yerba mate orange herbal tea is straightforward. Use a tea strainer, infuser or a traditional mate gourd and bombilla to brew your cup. Hot water works well, and the loose leaf format lets you adjust the amount to suit your taste. You can also enjoy this blend as an iced tea – simply brew it a little stronger, let it cool and pour it over ice.

Brewing tips

1. Use about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup (roughly 200 ml of water)
2. Heat your water to around 80 °C – boiling water can make mate taste bitter
3. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like it
4. Remove the leaves promptly to avoid over-steeping
5. For iced tea, brew double strength, cool down and serve over ice with a little sugar if you like

A 100-gram pack yields approximately 50 cups when using 2 grams per serving, so it goes a long way for daily enjoyment. The Yerba Mate Orange also works as a light topping for iced desserts – try it lightly sugared over ice cream for something a little different.
