Question 1

What is yerba mate?

Accepted Answer

Yerba mate is a traditional South American beverage made from the leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant. It has been enjoyed for centuries by indigenous Guaraní people and is known for its balanced energy boost, rich antioxidant content, and cultural significance. Unlike coffee, yerba mate releases caffeine gradually, providing sustained energy without the crash.

Question 2

Is Oñoirũ yerba mate organic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Oñoirũ yerba mate is 100% certified organic by both EU and USDA standards. Our family farmers in Itapúa, Paraguay use agroecological methods — no synthetic pesticides, no fertilizers, no artificial additives. The plants are shade-grown and hand-harvested during the waning moon for optimal quality.

Question 3

How do you prepare yerba mate?

Accepted Answer

Fill your mate gourd about two-thirds full with yerba mate. Tilt the gourd to create a slope, insert your bombilla (metal straw) into the lower side, and pour hot water (70-80°C, never boiling) into the empty space. Sip through the bombilla and refill with water as needed. For cold tereré, use ice-cold water instead. Each 500g pack yields approximately 100 servings.

Question 4

Where does Oñoirũ yerba mate come from?

Accepted Answer

Oñoirũ yerba mate is grown and packed in Itapúa, Paraguay — a region renowned for its lush subtropical forests and ideal climate for yerba mate cultivation. Our mate is produced by a cooperative of over 130 family farmers who have been tending these lands for generations.

Question 5

How much caffeine is in yerba mate?

Accepted Answer

A typical serving of yerba mate contains approximately 85mg of caffeine per cup — comparable to a cup of coffee. However, yerba mate also contains theobromine and theophylline, which work together to provide a smoother, longer-lasting energy boost over 4-6 hours, without the jitters or crash often associated with coffee.
