Mate is a South American drink looking to break through in the US market. It is a cross between coffee and tea. Similar to coffee, mate is high in caffeine and is often used to jump start your day. Mate is prepared from steeping dried leaves that are then put into a gourd. Hot water is poured into the gourd and sipped through a special straw called a bombilla.
Five healthy reasons to choose Mate:
- Exhibits significant cancer-fighting activity
- Lowers levels of LDL or bad cholesterol and raises levels of HDL or good cholesterol
- It is a mental & physical stimulant
- Has been proven to be a hunger suppressant
- Gives you the energy of coffee without the jitteriness
