What is mate?
Mate , a traditional South American plant, mainly cultivated in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, is famous for its consumption in the form of an infusion , similar to that of tea.
This hot drink is not only appreciated for its unique taste , but also for its multiple benefits on health and well-being.
What are the benefits of mate?
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, mate is also recognized for its therapeutic properties. It contributes to weight regulation , particularly thanks to its fat-burning properties.
Consumed regularly, mate is therefore a beneficial drink, combining taste pleasure and health benefits , which makes it an essential element of South American culture.
How to prepare a mate?
Here are three preparation methods , which are distinguished by their method and approach, each offering a unique tasting experience.
Traditional preparation of mate
The traditional method of preparing mate uses a calabash and a bombilla (filter straw).
This technique begins by filling the gourd two-thirds full with dried mate leaves.
The gourd is then tilted to create a slope, before pouring hot water (not boiling) on the lower side to avoid burning the leaves and to preserve their aromas.
The bombilla is inserted into the deep 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 extraction of flavors .
Preparation in tea ball
For those looking for a more convenient method or who don't have access to a gourd and bombilla, the tea ball offers a modern alternative.
Similar to making regular tea, this technique involves filling a tea ball with dried mate leaves and then steeping it in a cup of hot water for a few minutes.
Preparation of mate in sachets
The mate bag technique is the most accessible and easiest for beginners 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 intensity.
Each of these mate preparation techniques offers a different gateway into the rich cultural and taste universe of this drink, allowing everyone to find their own way of enjoying mate according to their tastes and lifestyle.
Do you know the three great mates?
South America's iconic drink, mate, comes in a variety of variations, 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 flavor profiles:
- Green mate is characterized by its youth and freshness, offering vegetal nuances and a liveliness in the mouth reminiscent of the freshness of nature.
- Refined mate , on the other hand, benefits from a maturation process ranging from 12 to 24 months. This refining period allows the development of a richer and more intense bouquet, with deep and nuanced taste notes.
- Finally,roasted mate is the result of careful roasting at low temperature. This special treatment gives it round and warm aromas, with a certain originality that can evoke the flavors of coffee. This version will particularly appeal to those looking for an alternative to coffee, offering a unique depth of taste.
These variations of mate allow each lover of this ancient drink to find the version that suits them, depending on their taste preferences and the experience they are looking for.
