What is mate?
Mate , a traditional South American plant, mainly cultivated in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, is renowned for its consumption as an infusion , similar to that of tea.
This hot drink is not only appreciated for its unique taste , but also for its numerous health and wellness benefits .
What are the benefits of maté?
Rich in antioxidants , vitamins and minerals , mate leaves offer a range of positive effects on the body.
They naturally stimulate the nervous system, improve concentration and alertness , promote healthy digestion and strengthen the immune system.
Beyond its energizing effects, yerba mate is also recognized for its therapeutic properties. It contributes to weight regulation , notably thanks to its fat-burning properties.
Consumed regularly, mate is therefore a beneficial drink, combining taste pleasure and health benefits , making it an essential element of South American culture.
How to prepare a mate tea?
Here are three preparation methods , distinguished by their method and approach, each offering a unique tasting experience.
Traditional preparation of maté
The traditional method of preparing mate uses a gourd. and a bombilla (filter straw).
This technique begins by filling the gourd two-thirds full with dried mate leaves.
The calabash is then tilted to create a slope, before hot (not boiling) water is poured onto the lower side to avoid burning the leaves and to preserve their aromas.
The bombilla is inserted into the deeper part of the leaves, allowing the drink to be filtered and the mate to be enjoyed in its most authentic form.
This method promotes slow infusion and maximum flavor extraction .
Tea ball preparation
For those seeking a more practical method or who do not have access to a calabash and bombilla, the tea ball offers a modern alternative.
Similar to preparing a classic tea, this technique involves filling a tea ball with dried mate leaves, then immersing it in a cup of hot water for a few minutes.
Preparing mate in sachets
The mate bag technique is the most accessible and easiest for novices or those on the go.
To prepare, simply place a sachet in a cup and add hot water, letting it steep for a few minutes depending on the desired strength.
Each of these techniques for preparing mate offers a different entry point into the rich cultural and gustatory universe of this beverage, allowing everyone to find their own way of enjoying mate according to their tastes and lifestyle.
Are you familiar with the three main types of yerba mate?
The iconic South American drink, mate, comes in various forms, each offering a unique taste experience: green mate , roasted mate , and aged mate .
Although these three types come from the same leaves, it is the post-harvest processing that gives them their distinct aromatic profiles:
- Green mate is characterized by its youthfulness and freshness, offering vegetal nuances and a liveliness on the palate reminiscent of the freshness of nature.
- Aged yerba mate , on the other hand, benefits from a maturation process lasting from 12 to 24 months. This aging period allows for the development of a richer and more intense bouquet, with deep and nuanced flavor notes.
- Finally,roasted yerba mate is the result of careful roasting at low temperatures. This special process gives it well-rounded and warm aromas, with a certain originality that can evoke the flavors of coffee. This version will particularly appeal to those looking for a coffee alternative, offering a unique depth of taste.
These variations of mate allow each enthusiast of this ancient beverage to find the version that suits them, according to their taste preferences and the experience they are looking for.
