BrainMax Pure Yerba Maté, Digestive, 1000 g

Energy for the whole day! That's Yerba Mate!

In South America, Yerba Mate is known as the "drink of the Gods" and it will win you over with its slightly bitter taste, which is the work of the saponins that Yerba contains. Yerba Maté is first and foremost an excellent stimulant. The substances contained in Yerba Mate are an excellent source of energy, which also improves concentration. Since many of us need to stimulate our brains daily and support mental performance, Yerba is suitable for daily drinking.

How to prepare Yerba?

Yerba can be watered several times without significant loss of Yerba effects. Normally, for one dose of Yerba we make up to 6 new infusions. It is therefore not necessary to give "new Yerba" for each additional calabash. If you are sensitive to caffeine, we recommend starting with one tablespoon and then adding more. To prepare Yerba Mate traditionally, you will need a calabash and a bombilla, which you can also purchase from our e-shop. If you don't have a kettle that can be set to a temperature, feel free to get a thermometer.

1. If you are a beginner, it is enough to put in a calabash 2 - 3 tablespoons. FROM experienced users they can up to 4 - 5 tablespoons.

2. Pour some water into the calabash to wet the Yerba leaves. Meanwhile, put the water on 70 to 80 degrees.

3. Once the water is ready and the Yerba calabash leaves are soaked, fill the kettle with Yerba calabash to the brim.

4. Let it steep for at least 3 minutes and then you can drink it through a bombilla all day long.

5. You can water the yerba repeatedly until it loses its flavor.

Why is Yerba Mate better than coffee?

The rush of energy from starting is very similar to the one we all know from coffee. But then? Nothing happens, no slump like with coffee. The effect is much longer, more consistent and smoother. With Yerba, it is possible to reach a flow state, which could be described as a moment of completely focused motivation.
