The package of our Yerba Mate Pura is handmade by our designer Analia Alonso. It took months and months of thinking, imagining, creating. We would like to share with you a story, the source of inspiration for our new packaging.

An ancient legend tells that the earth and the sky were two mirrors and they looked into each other’s eyes.

Enraptured by their infinite beauty and that immense communion; where the mother earth brought the wisdom of nature, the wisdom of the plants and the ancestral and eternal father sky brought the immensity of its powerful spirit, a love without limits was forged..

From these infinite, immeasurable parents a son called love was born. 

Love, he knew that everything belonged to him and that no one could escape his enchantment, no matter how evil he was. So he sought to nest in the earth of his mother, as well as in the sky of his father. And wherever he found the right place, he flourished. His capacity to give was so immense that he gave millions of buds and green leaves and millions of lights and shining souls.

Amor, satisfied with his task, went to take a nap on the bank of a stream and when he woke up, he saw with satisfaction his task. Then he thought he should remind the nature of the leaves and all souls of their blissful condition. 

He took leaves from their buds, a gourd from an orchard and thought, if they share a sip of my sage every day, they will know that I am taking care of them.

He cut the small gourd and two magical passes filled it with dried leaves from the previous autumn, brought water from his mother’s hot springs and poured it over the leaves. Then he sipped it and checked that it tasted very good, grateful to his father and said to himself: “this elixir will embrace lonely souls, foster friendship, unite families, heal sorrows, clarify thoughts, awaken ideas, promote roots, renew energies and remind them that I am always in the round with them”.

We tell you about the NEW PURE YERBA that we are launching on the market. Our Yerba Mate is 12 months old and comes from Misiones, Argentina.

Production system

Our respect for nature leads us on the path of ecology, care for the land and the environment. This path, although more laborious, leaves wonderful fruits for present and future generations.

In this way, we leave a green footprint. A footprint of pure air, of green fields, of native forests cradled by expert hands with incalculable ancestral wisdom.

Harvest

The cultivation is as important as the delicate manual harvest that is meticulously repeated every year in autumn and winter.

Then, with motherly love, we carry the harvest in big sacks to prepare for drying. Knowing that from each harvested leaf will come a new round of mates that will promote the union and friendship as is customary in our beloved land.

Yerba Mate is an antioxidant, a source of vitamins and minerals, and it also has an energising effect. We invite you to read the article and learn more about the properties of Yerba Mate.

Source of vitamins and minerals

Yerba Mate has vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, C and E. These vitamins are essential as they convert nutrients into energy, are involved in the production of hormones, red blood cells and DNA, and are vital for neurological function.

In addition, yerba mate contains minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Potassium is involved in muscle contraction and helps to keep the heart rate at normal levels. While magnesium contributes to the functioning of muscles and nerves, acts in the body’s defence, and helps bones remain strong.

Energising

Yerba mate is a great source of energy due to its high caffeine content. It stimulates the nervous system, provides natural energy and increases concentration.

Antioxidant

Yerba Mate infusions, especially those consumed hot, have an enormous antioxidant power. They help to slow down cellular ageing and prevent cardiovascular diseases. 

Lowers cholesterol

Daily consumption of mate lowers total cholesterol and triglycerides. In addition, its consumption on an empty stomach does not alter glycaemia and insulin levels.

In addition to all its properties, mate brings us together with the people we love, it is a companion when studying, working and enjoying at any time of the day.
