For those new to yerba mate. Ganas Mate Aged Chimarrão is pronounced "shee mah HOE."
Our chimarrão is organic yerba mate that's been aged for a darker color and flavor than a younger green mate. It's always air dried, never smoked. We leave in a little dust, stems and sticks with the organic leaves to give it a full-bodied flavor.
Chimarrão is the perfect introduction for someone new to yerba mate: a herbaceous flavor that isn't too bold, but just right. If you've been drinking coffee for years and want to switch things up, you'll love Ganas Chimarrão.
Yerba mate naturally contains caffeine (roughly 90–150 mg per 12 oz serving, depending on how it's prepared) along with theobromine, theophylline, potassium, magnesium and polyphenols. That's a steady, coffee-strength lift that many coffee drinkers love switching to.
How to brew
French press: add yerba, pour hot (not boiling) water, steep a few minutes and press.
Tea ball or infuser: fill with yerba, steep in hot water, and adjust strength to taste.
Coffee maker: brew it just like ground coffee.
Cold brew: soak in room-temperature or cool water for 12–24 hours, then strain.
