100% Certified Organic ~ 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.
A South American Tradition Revered for Centuries...
92% Household Consumption Rate in Argentina!
(compared to only a 62% rate for coffee in the US)
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 yerba mate grown for Aviva!
Not only is our yerba mate free from pesticides and chemicals, it is grown and harvested in a sustainable and responsible fashion! This is the best way to preserve the delicate ecosystem of the land and its inhabitants. Forest land is preserved and habitat expanded through reforestation programs. A portion of each purchase of our Aviva brand yerba mate is directly allocated to the betterment of those who live and work on the ranch in Argentina. "Because We Grow, We Know"
