The benefits of maté

Maté is rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients. It contains polyphenols, saponins, and xanthines, which offer various health benefits:

Energy and focus:
Thanks to its caffeine content, maté boosts your energy and enhances mental alertness.

Weight loss: maté helps control appetite and increase energy expenditure, making it easier to lose weight.

Immune system:
The saponins in maté have anti-inflammatory properties that support your immune system.

Cholesterol reduction: maté may help lower bad cholesterol, supporting cardiovascular health.

Origin and culture of maté

Maté comes from the leaves of Ilex paraguariensis, a tree in the holly family. Mainly cultivated in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, it is deeply rooted in the culture of these countries. Drinking maté is often a social ritual, symbolizing connection and sharing.

Preparation and consumption of maté

Traditionally, maté is prepared in a gourd using a bombilla, a metal straw with a filter. For beginners, it can also be prepared using a French press or tea infuser. For an authentic experience, explore our maté accessories on Teatower.

Side effects and consumption precautions

While maté is beneficial, it's important to consume it in moderation. Excessive intake can lead to caffeine-related side effects, such as sleep disturbances or palpitations. Also, drinking maté very hot may increase the risk of certain cancers. It’s recommended to enjoy it at a moderate temperature.
