Vilgain Organic Yerba mate - traditional South American drink with a unique taste

Vilgain Organic Yerba Maté brings you a unique quality from the natural resources of tropical Brazil. Unlike its cousins from other parts of South America, it has a milder and sweeter taste.

Gentle processing using the smokeless method

The Brazilian climate and soil conditions are not the only things that give our yerba its unique characteristics and taste. The processing method, of which there are several, also plays an important role. Drying with fire or hot air, with its higher temperature, significantly impairs the flavour, which is why we have chosen to use the new, much more considerate smokeless method.

The process consists of placing the leaves and shoots of the Paraguayan holly in a special dryer that operates at lower temperatures. These use air currents to remove the moisture, thus preserving the natural flavours and aromas of Yerba mate.

It is traditionally drunk in South America in a special container called a 'calabasa' with a metal or wooden 'bombilla' stick.

It gives energy and boosts immunity

Vilgain Yerba mate contains B vitamins and vitamin C, which contribute to normal immune system function and normal mental activity. Like green or black tea, yerba is rich in caffeine, which stimulates metabolism and acts as a natural fat burner. As a bonus, yerba is rich in antioxidants that help you get rid of harmful cell‑damaging free radicals that contribute to faster aging.

A natural alternative to energy drinks

Yerba Mate is the perfect substitute for supermarket energy drinks that are full of sugar or artificial sweeteners.
