ABOUT AVIVA YERBA MATE

Aviva Yerba Mate is a healthy coffee, tea and energy drink alternative that is one of the hottest drink trends in North America. Dan Garcia, President and CEO of Aviva, introduced the Aviva Yerba Mate brand in 1998 as an extension of his then successful coffee roasting business. Over the years, he has developed specific Mate-latte blends that have capitalized on the fast growing trend of Yerba Mate consumption in coffee houses and teashops. "These Mate-latte blends have been time tested in his cafés over the years," Chris Olsen said, "to much acclaim and favorable response!" Aviva will be adding to its sales team to introduce the product lines to coffee houses and teashops as well as to natural food and grocery stores.

NOT ALL YERBA MATE IS THE SAME

Not only is Aviva Yerba Mate chemical and pesticide free, it is grown and harvested utilizing a sustainable and exclusive wild harvest technique in the natural rainforest environment. This practice is the preferred way to preserve the ecosystem. It also enhances the taste and potency of the mate infusion as the plants grow naturally as they have for thousands of years utilizing the mineral rich rainforest soil. Aviva workers handpick only the most tender mate leaves, then remove the stems and powder which give yerba mate its bitter taste. This pure leaf, wild harvest approach yields a smooth yet powerful beverage with a delicious natural flavor.

Aviva is pioneering the future of healthy beverages by offering a complete line of yerba mate products that suit a flavor and style preference for everyone. In addition to the ten blends of loose leaf Yerba Mate (Mint, Lemon Myrtle, Spearmint, Chai Mate, Lemon Mint, Ginger Peach, Passion Berry, Apricot Spice, Summer Fruit Ambrosia and Orange) the company offers a coffee house and teashop specific Mate-latte line, six Yerba Mate Tea Bag Blends, a farm raised, certified organic Argentina blend, and traditional Yerba Mate drinking accessories. Enjoy an Aviva Yerba Mate Latte at Kaladi Coffee located at 1730 East Evans Avenue. To learn more about Aviva Yerba Mate, please visit www.yerba-mate.com.
