The leaves of the yerba mate tree contain 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, abundant antioxidants and naturally occurring caffeine. Of the six commonly used stimulants in the world: mate, coffee, tea, kola nut, cocoa, and guarana, yerba mate is the healthiest, delivering both energy and nutrition. Yerba Mate is native to the subtropical rainforests of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.
