## Summary

South America's energising brew, green and grassy, steeped in cooler water so it never turns bitter.

## Description

Yerba mate is South America's answer to coffee, a properly energising brew with a green, grassy, slightly smoky character. The one thing to get right is the water: never pour it boiling, as that scalds the leaf and turns it harsh and bitter.
