Description
A fruity new way to enjoy yerba mate
Original Mate Organic Fruity Yerba Mate Latte combines smooth green yerba mate with apple, hibiscus and red fruits to create a colourful, gently tangy and naturally sweet infusion.
More than 30% of the blend consists of real fruit pieces. Natural mango and red-fruit flavours give the drink a juicy, rounded character, while hibiscus contributes its distinctive tart and refreshing note. Stevia balances the blend with a touch of sweetness without the need for added sugar.
Fruity, creamy and naturally caffeinated
Brew the blend with hot water and add warm oat, rice or another neutral plant-based drink to create a comforting café-style latte. Despite its name, the dry blend contains no milk and may also be enjoyed without milk as a conventional hot or iced yerba mate infusion.
The green mate is dried using a smoke-free process for a smoother flavour. It is an approachable option for customers who find traditional yerba mate too earthy or bitter.
Organic and responsibly produced
The ingredients are sourced from organic agriculture, and Original Mate is certified by Ecocert. Fair for Life-controlled fair-trade ingredients represent 50% of the total agricultural ingredients.
Each blend is developed, assembled and packed in Original Mate’s workshop in Saint-Brieuc, France.
How to prepare a fruity mate latte
For one 300ml serving:
- Add one tablespoon of Fruity Mate Latte to a mate cup, infuser mug or teapot.
- Pour in approximately 75ml of hot water at no more than 80°C.
- Allow the blend to infuse for three minutes.
- Add approximately 225ml of warm plant-based milk.
- Continue infusing for at least another two minutes.
- Strain and serve, or drink through a traditional bombilla.
For the best flavour, use a neutral, unsweetened oat or rice drink. The same serving of leaves can be infused two or three times.
Preparation without milk
The blend can also be prepared as a conventional fruity yerba mate infusion. Use approximately 2–5g per serving, add water at no more than 80°C and infuse for three to five minutes. Serve hot or allow it to cool and pour over ice.
