Yerba Mate Supply

Provides More Energy Than Coffee

The Yerba Mate is an energetic evergreen tree that produces leaves that are full of benefits. Once boiled in water they produce a drink that gives people more energy than coffee and has more vitamins and nutrients than tea.

Yerba Mate is often referred to as the ‘drink of the gods’ because it contains vitamins A, B, C as well as potassium, iron, manganese, antioxidants and more. It has everything to naturally boost your immune system, improve skin and hair health and get you moving.

Unlike coffee, which can make you feel heavy and has lots of acidity, Yerba Mate is light on the stomach and has a smooth finish. Yerba Mate has a flavor like green tea, only slightly more bitter and pairs great with honey and tea. It’s delicious when served hot or cold over ice.

Grow Yerba Mate in a container to keep in your kitchen or office to always have leaves on hand for an energetic boost in the morning or an afternoon pick me up. The Yerba Mate will continue to grow leaves all year so you’ll never run out.

And the caffeine in the Yerba Mate has another great benefit: It acts as a shield against tough conditions. So, temperature extremes, pests, and diseases are no match for the Yerba.

Instead of constantly spending money on expensive coffees or sugary energy drinks you will save hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars by picking your own, home-grown Yerba Mate leaves.

Yerba Mates thrive in shade as well as low light conditions, making them the perfect houseplant. They are even a delight to watch as they produce fragrant white blossoms from October to December that turn into vibrant, red ornamental berries in the spring that pop against their attractive dark green leaves.

The Yerba Mate grows just fine without a lot of attention. They are incredibly low maintenance and don’t require a lot of upkeep. Simply place yours in a container and immediately start enjoying the multiple benefits that Yerba Mate has to offer.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Your Yerba Mate will be happiest in a full to partial sun location. If possible, try to put it in a spot that it will be protected from strong winds.

From there, ensure you dig a hole large enough to accommodate your Yerba s root ball in well-draining soil, place your plant, backfill and then water to settle the roots. You can also mulch the surrounding soil to lock in moisture.

2. Watering: Your Yerba Mate will require at least one weekly watering (mulch helps retain moisture so be sure to spread a good 2-3 inch layer around the base). Keep an eye on the area during the hot season as you might need to move up to a dual watering weekly.

3. Fertilizing: For the first year, during active growth in spring and summer, apply a 1 2 lb. of a slow-release, complete fertilizer every two months. For each following year, add an additional 1 2 lb. to each application.
