Yummy Mate

The world whizzes by us. Computers move information around faster than our brains can comprehend. Around you, cars are buzzing and planes are flying and information is zooming painless through and around you. Deadlines loom and stress levels rise and worries build and . . . stop. It's time for your yerba mate. And everything else can wait.

Yerba mate is a drink native to South America, and has been enjoyed for centuries. It's delicious, to say the least, but also has extra healthful properties. It contains alkaloids in the same family as caffeine, so you get a completely natural boost - yet it is much gentler on your stomach. Yerba mate also contains natural antioxidants, which help mental clarity and the sustenance of physical energy even more. It is a drink from the past and it encourages you to just slow down, relax, and focus. And there's one more thing yerba mate encourages: sharing with your friends.

This set contains everything needed for an authentic Yerba Mate experience. It includes a metal rimmed gourd (mate). Also included is a steel bombilla which is a traditional metal straw with a filter on the bottom. And, of course, a nice bag of yerba mate.
