Happy Maté Monday!!

At our house, we like to start our days with a *Refreshing & Energizing* Cold-Steeped Loose Leaf Organic Yerba Maté with a Bombilla that we then Re-Steep 3-5x more throughout the day using medium to hot water for a nice healthy boost of *Healthy Concentration, Metabolism & Stamina!!* And believe you me, we have no problems falling asleep at night (Jason especially) because Yerba Maté does not upset the brain's sleep cycles or adenosine re-uptake.

Plus!! Yerba Maté is chock full of Vitamins, especially C & also has delightful boosts in Potassium, Magnesium and other important trace minerals!! We'll definitely be adding this powerful plant to our garden sometime soon!! But for now, we totally drink it down cup after cup like many other maté lovers around the globe, especially the experts down in Argentina & Paraguay!!

Our Yerba Maté is 100% Organic and Certified Fair Trade sourced entirely from a small family farm in Argentina. We offer it available in loose leaf or in hand crafted compostable tea bags, as well as in some delicious Yera Dé Maté Original Blends, including Maté Límon (w/ nice earthy Lemongrass tones & added healing & detoxifying benefits), Maté Mint (paired with the amazing Peppermint plant known for its abundant restorative and cleansing and cooling properties!!) and our oh so popular 'Super Study Tea,' as coined by many of our St. Mary's College of Maryland customers, our deliciously unique Blueberry Lemongrass stimulant tea, Maté Sky, can also be helpful in boosting immune & brain function, most especially with disease resistance, muscle repair rate & recovery time, memory and concentration!!

In addition to Organic Yerba Maté, Maté Sky Also Includes (100% Organic) Dried Blueberries & Lemongrass, Panax Kirin Ginseng, Gotu Kola, Gingko Biloba, Marshmallow Root & Lemonbalm.

Maté Sky is available on-line @ www.YeraDeHerbalTeas.com, @ Blue Wind Gourmet in California, MD off of 235N or just contact us directly by fb, e-mail or text! Maté Sky comes in a 3.5 oz rice paper package and holds approx. 22-25 servings, depending on serving size. We recommend using a filtered straw called a Bombilla to make consumption and clean-up easiest. In fact, we use bombillas pretty much daily, with all of our loose leaf herbal drinks. You can find a bombilla from us (We Currently Sell Fair Trade Bamboo Bombillas, but can order stainless steel varieties by request) or from any number of on-line retailers. Also, be sure to *Re-Steep & Repeat!* as Maté Sky and yerba maté contain many cups worth of valuable vitamins & health benefits worth reaping!

(But please feel free to contact us about our Pregnancy & Kid-Friendly Teas! We offer a number of delicious, calming and nutrient-rich herbal teas and are currently working on some blends specifically for women, especially during pregnancy & nursing!!

And stay tuned for a whole line of Yera Dé Matés, including our soon-to-be-released Maté Sol, featuring the powers & flavors of Orange & Cinnamon!! Plus, we're working on more specialty matés for the future including: Maté Fit, Maté Bliss, Maté Gold, Maté Peace & Maté O!!

Healing the World One Tea Bag at a Time.

Of all the things we can imagine doing with our lives, of all the ways we love to share and serve, we decided to share with the world our most joyful, most healing ritual; Tea. Tea is our passion, our comfort, our peace. And every time we invite friends to gather for tea in our tiny little house by the creek here in Hollywood, MD, our lives feel rich with a sense of community and calm and it is truly the more the merrier!

And with each delicious cup of Yera Dé Herbal Teas, we drink to our health. We drink of the Earth. We drink to the Earth. We often drink our own blends, but still will try any tea that entices us along the way. It is our indulgence and oftentimes, our medicine. And we're not talkin just your standard green tea or classic black teas, but indeed, we make teas featuring a plethora of herbs & spices from every corner of the globe and renowned amongst a myriad of cultures for their abundant healing properties.

I cannot claim that my teas are curative, or even medicinal for that matter, as no tea company that I know of is yet to be FDA approved. What I do offer, however is a thoroughly researched, meticulously crafted, 100% Organic Herbal Tea product; made with specific health benefits in mind in a variety of interesting and tasty combinations!
