Green yerba mate from South America with a woody aroma, a slightly astringent taste and medium caffeine. A good companion for the early round through the greenhouse before the real work starts.
Some growers start the day with coffee, others with a cup of mate in hand while they open the vents and check what came up overnight. If you are in the second group, or would like to be, this green yerba mate is a straightforward place to start. It is cut, loose leaf from South America with a woody aroma and the typical slightly astringent finish that mate drinkers look for.
Use 14–17 g per litre of water, which is a little less than most of the other teas we stock. Pour over water at 90–100 °C and steep for 5–10 minutes. The shorter time gives a lighter, greener cup; leave it the full ten minutes if you like the astringency to come forward. If you brew a full pot, strain the leaves once the tea has steeped. A 50 g bag is enough for several pots.
With its medium caffeine content, mate is a morning drink for people who want something other than coffee. It also works as a shared pot: on a Saturday of pricking out seedlings or refilling the raised bed, a big teapot on the garden table means everyone can help themselves without stopping for long. Keep the bag closed and dry, next to your seed jars rather than next to the watering can.
