"I was born in Argentina and grew up in the U.S., but I've been drinking yerba mate my entire life"- said Lucas Jaramillo, founder of Matea.

Derived from the highest-quality, biodynamic yerba mate leaves, hand-picked from their farm in the rainforests of Northern Argentina, Matea's powder undergoes a meticulous process to ensure unparalleled quality and taste. The leaves are shade-grown, hand-picked, air-dried, and milled into an ultra-fine powder, maximizing chlorophyll concentration and antioxidants.

Unlike traditional yerba mate, Matea's powder is fully dissolvable, adding simplicity and convenience. It can be effortlessly mixed into water, lattes, smoothies, or baked goods, providing versatile options for incorporating the benefits of yerba mate into daily routines. Matea's powder also boasts a smoother, less bitter taste compared to traditional yerba mate, appealing to a wider range of consumers.

Beyond the exceptional taste and convenience, Matea's powder offers an array of health benefits available for pre-order now on the company's website, with general availability slated for the holidays.
