Mimaté's Maté Original Bio is an organic green yerba maté, 100% organically grown and with no added sugar. The leaves come from Argentina, from fair trade according to Mimaté: they are grown there without herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilisers, then dried without smoke. The yerba is then sorted and packed in France, in the Gironde.

What does it taste like?

Its liquor is clean and vegetal, with a clear bitterness that softens with each infusion of water, reaching fresh, grassy notes. Its product sheet gives it an intensity of 4 out of 5. It is a natural maté: for a fruity version from the same brand, see the Maté Fruits des Bois.

When should you drink it?

We recommend it in the morning. Like every maté, it contains caffeine, so it is not part of the caffeine-free drinks.

How should it be prepared?

It can be enjoyed in two ways, always with hot water that is not boiling, between 70 and 80 °C:

• Gentle infusion, in a cup or a teapot, like a loose-leaf tea: allow 2.5 g per cup.
• In a calabash and bombilla, in the traditional manner: water is poured several times over the same leaves, and the bitterness softens from one pouring to the next. Calabashes and bombillas await you in our maté accessories.
