A warming chai-inspired yerba mate latte
Original Mate Organic Spiced Chai Yerba Mate Latte brings together the naturally distinctive character of green yerba mate and the comforting flavours of a spiced chai.
Organic green mate forms the base of the blend, while rooibos adds a smooth and rounded character. Chai spices, crushed cardamom and star anise contribute warming aromatic notes, complemented by salted-butter caramel and natural vanilla flavour.
The result is a fragrant loose-leaf blend with a gently spiced, subtly sweet and comforting flavour profile. Enjoy it with warm plant-based milk for a creamy café-style drink or prepare it with water as a conventional yerba mate infusion.
A latte blend with natural caffeine
This is a loose-leaf infusion rather than an instant chai latte powder. It must be brewed and strained before serving.
The yerba mate in the recipe naturally contains caffeine, while rooibos helps create a smooth and balanced cup. The mate is dried using a smoke-free process, producing a gentler flavour than heavily smoked traditional yerba mate.
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 account for 50% of the total agricultural ingredients.
The blend is developed, assembled and packed in Original Mate’s workshop in Saint-Brieuc, France.
HOW TO PREPARE A SPICED CHAI MATE LATTE
For one 300ml serving:
- Add one tablespoon of the loose blend 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 another two minutes or longer.
- Strain and serve, or drink through a traditional bombilla.
For a smooth and creamy result, use an unsweetened oat, almond or rice drink. The same serving of leaves can be infused two or three times.
PREPARATION WITHOUT MILK
The blend can also be enjoyed as a conventional yerba mate infusion. Use approximately 2–5g per serving, add water at no more than 80°C and allow it to infuse for three to five minutes.
Serve it hot as a warming spiced drink or let it cool before pouring it over ice.
