Yerba Mate Guarana has a light yellow infusion with a smoky and fruity aroma. When you taste it, you will be delighted by the typical notes of maté, meaning smokiness and bitterness, combined with notes of aronia and grapefruit.
Origins
If we were to choose 2 ingredients that are signature for this tea, we must without a doubt select yerba mate and guarana. So let us get to it.
Yerba maté was popular among the Native Americans. And once you taste it, you will love it too. It is the fermented leaves of the Paraguayan holly (Ilex paraguariensis) containing not only antioxidants but also caffeine and a small amount of theobromine. Thanks to these simulants, it helps with a wide range of mental and physical challenges.
Paraguayan holly is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay but is now grown in the Seychelles and Africa. It is a tree with stiff, egg-shaped leaves, inconspicuous small flowers and fruit resembling small cherries. The production of yerba mate consists of several steps. The leaves need to be harvested, fermented, then dried and fermented again for up to 2 years. Finally, the farmers grind and package them.
Maté drinking is a social event in South America, symbolizing hospitality and camaraderie. It is traditionally served in a maté gourd (hollowed-out and dried fruit of the calabash tree) and sipped with a metal straw (bombilla).
How can we quickly introduce guarana? As in the case of yerba mate, it is associated with the indigenous tribes of South America. This time, however, we will not talk about the leaves, but the seeds, in particular the seeds of the paullinia cupana, a small tree found in Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil. That's guarana.
And like maté, guarana contains several stimulants; theobromine, caffeine and theophylline. The seeds are distinctly bitter, but the flavor of this tea blend is so fine-tuned that their typical taste does not overpower the other ingredients. On the contrary, it complements them nicely.
