About

Looking for a traditional herbal tea to support natural energy, focus and everyday vitality?

Rio Amazon Yerba Maté Tea is made from pure, finely-cut Yerba Maté leaves, also known as Ilex paraguariensis .

Naturally containing caffeine, Yerba Maté is traditionally enjoyed as an energising herbal tea and is often chosen as an alternative to coffee or standard black tea.

Yerba Maté also contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including polyphenols, amino acids, plant sterols and saponins. It is a good source of antioxidants and is especially suited to busy lifestyles where steady energy and alertness are needed.

Each teabag contains 1500mg Yerba Maté leaves and provides approximately 25mg naturally occurring caffeine.
