PampaDirect
PampaDirect is a new online store but they’ve already gained my trust and loyalty as a customer. They’re so great, I even wrote a full review of their store. Why?
Local Health Food Stores
You can find yerba mate at local health food stores in the US. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, which can provide an energy boost without the jitters or crashes associated with coffee.
Ethnic Markets
Ethnic Markets are places where you can find products of a particular culture. If you wish to purchase yerba mate, you have to look for Brazilian or Paraguayan-themed food markets.
Supermarket Aisles
In Which Aisle Can You Find Yerba Mate? If you head out to a supermarket, the first place to look for yerba mate is in the tea aisle.
- If you cannot find it there, then try the world foods aisle.
California is one of the most popular US states for yerba mate consumption.
Yerba mate is a popular South American drink containing caffeine. It provides an energy boost similar to coffee, but with more nutrients and less caffeine.
- Yerba mate has a strong, slightly bitter taste with a smoky flavor. It provides an awakening sensation without the caffeine crash you may get from coffee.
- Compared to green tea, yerba mate contains 90% more antioxidants.
- The caffeine, theophylline and theobromine make yerba mate a stimulant, though not hallucinogenic. Consumed in moderation, it increases mental focus without causing sleeplessness.
Yerba mate drinking remains a strong tradition in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and parts of Brazil and Chile. Etiquette around preparing and sharing mate in gourds forges community bonds.
