100% Wild Harvest ~ Pure Leaf Yerba Mate!

Yerba Mate (pronounced "Mah-Tay") is truly a remarkable herbal beverage which ranks exceptionally high in nutritional content among brewed or steeped drink products. For pennies a serving, a cup of yerba mate provides more value and is more cost effective than many manufactured energy drinks or meal replacement options on the market. Additionally, a large number of consumers trying to kick the coffee habit have found yerba mate to be a healthful, yet still stimulating, alternative to their cup of joe.

Since 1998, our mission at Aviva has been to responsibly cultivate, harvest, package, and distribute to our worldwide customers the finest quality yerba mate from South America. Like coffee and tea, not all yerba mate tastes the same. The environment, growing conditions, and harvesting methods greatly affect the taste and potency of the Mate infusion. In fact, a recent study shows that shade grown yerba possesses a higher concentration of nutrients than plants cultivated under the hot sun!

A unique Wild Harvest yerba mate grown exclusively for Aviva!

Not only is our yerba mate free from pesticides and chemicals, it is grown and harvested in its natural forest environment! This is the best way to preserve the delicate ecosystem of the land and its inhabitants. We're not aware of another mate product on the market today that is produced in this manner. A portion of each purchase of our Aviva™ brand yerba mate is directly allocated to the betterment of those who live and work on our ranch in Paraguay. "Because We Grow, We Know"

The wild plant has a distinct aroma and taste that has not been matched by plantation cultivation. - Raintree Nutrition

Yerba Mate - Weight Loss Tea!

"I've tried many brands of yerba mate. It seems like most of the yerba coming out of South America is the traditional kind with a lot of sticks, stems, and dust. Even the 'sin palo' products seem rather dusty. That may be fine for some people, but I for one prefer more of a leaf consistency. You certainly have a unique product. Keep up the good work!"

"Even, smooth taste. I like it! What first attracted me were the health benefits one gets from drinking mate."

"I have been drinking yerba mate tea since October 1999. Since then there have not been too many days that I have gone without it. I have suffered from depression much of my life and as a result of being a combat marine in Vietnam, also suffer from PTSD. I feel that yerba mate lifts my spirits, but not in a nerve-on-ends way like caffeine. Yerba leaves me with with a positive feeling and attitude."

"Love it! Smooth, nice aroma. Like a rich, smooth green tea. Feels good on my dry throat!"

"Fast, easy, secure ordering and timely delivery makes Aviva my choice for South American mate!"

"Thank you for having such an informative website. I've told many of my friends about the new and exciting tea from Aviva. Thank you again."

"The Yerba Mate arrived. This is the best I have ever seen or drunk... henceforth I shall be ordering from you. Thank you so much for the best of the best!"

"WOW!! I can't believe how fast your company gets my orders delivered!! Thanks for a GREAT product and FANTASTIC service."
