Frequently Asked Questions about Natura Yerba Mate

What kind of yerba is it?
It’s a traditional Argentine yerba mate con palo (with stems), intense yet smooth.

Is it gluten-free?
Yes. It’s labeled Sin T.A.C.C. (gluten-free) and suitable for gluten-free diets.

How much should I put in the gourd?
Fill about 3/4 of the mate with yerba, then follow the preparation steps below.

What’s the ideal water temperature?
Hot but not boiling. Heat the water until it’s just before the first boil (around 70–80 °C / 158–176 °F).

How to prepare a proper mate (step by step):

1. Fill the mate gourd to 3/4 full with yerba.
2. Cover the mouth of the mate, turn it upside down, and shake gently.
3. Return it to the normal position, keeping the yerba tilted to one side so a hollow space forms.
4. Pour a little warm water very slowly into the empty space to hydrate the yerba (do not soak all the yerba; do not flood the mate).
5. Insert the bombilla (straw) in that same moist spot.
6. Heat water until just before boiling (the water must not boil).
7. Start pouring small, steady servings over the same spot. Don’t move the bombilla; the dry side will moisten gradually with each round.
