Organic yerba mate − why is it better than conventional one?

Eco lifestyle is in full swing and it is not just a fad any more. It becomes a healthy habit − finally! For this reason, organic food gains more and more popularity. It is not only about fruit and vegetables though. Why is it worth it to reach for certified products?

Organic yerba mate tea − quality guaranteed

The advantages of organic yerba mate will be appreciated not only by people looking for the highest quality, but by everyone who wants to make informed consumer decisions. Organic yerba mate tea comes from plantations respecting the ecological standards and not having a bad influence on the environment. Unlike the conventional plantations, organic plantations of Ilex paraguariensis are consistent with natural growing cycle of the plants. They don’t use pesticides, i.e. chemical substances that are meant to eliminate pests and weeds. What is more, this type of yerba mate plantations coexist with natural ecosystems, thanks to which they don’t pose a threat to the species native to particular regions. Companies that don’t respect ecological standards, may negatively influence the environment to a large extent. Meanwhile, in contrast to the brands offering conventional mate tea, organic plantations are very often small family businesses complying with the rules of production and work ethic. If you want to have a real influence on the environment, always pay attention to the chosen company’s policy!

The best mate tea with organic certificate

If you want to reach for the top shelf organic products, have a look at the offer of our online shop www.MateMundo.co.uk. A worth recommending brand of yerba mate tea is Soul Mate Organica, e.g. Anis with anise - both mate tea and all the additions come from ecological plantations, which guarantees the highest quality of the products. The whole plantation and production of mate tea is based on traditional methods that help protect biodiversity. Producers don’t use any chemicals. Even the packets are made of recyclable materials! Soul Mate Organica offers both yerba mate in traditional form and mate in teabags.

An alternative option is green organic Verde Mate Green Organica that is being produced by an organic plantation in Brazil. It’s the first organic product in Verde Mate Green family. The plantation of Ilex paraguariensis from which this product comes supports the idea of sustainable development and its business activity is regulated by the special rules laid down by the certification bodies. Another interesting and 100% natural option is Guayusa Pachamama. It comes from the plantation in Ecuador which was awarded with organic certificate. Guayusa is very often called the sister of yerba mate because it is made of the plant belonging to the same family as Ilex paraguariensis. Even though just like yerba mate, guayusa is a strong stimulant and a great source of minerals, its taste is much more subtle. Pachamama grows on the plantation surrounded by the Amazon rainforest and the production is conditioned by the natural growing cycle. The workers harvest guayusa manually. Guayusa is also available in different flavours, e.g. with mint and lemon. If you choose organic yerba mate, you can be proud of yourself − you support ecological agriculture and help to protect the environment!
