It's the Bomb(illa)

The Bite:
Need a WMD? Weapon of mass deliciousness that is. Whether served with or without its traditional bombilla straw, mate (say it mah-tay) is a tasty, earthy, tea-like drink that peeps in South America have been sipping for ages. Try it instead of coffee for a dynamite blast of healthy energy.

• Explosive stimulation. Mate does contain caffeine, but has fewer negative effects than coffee - it actually has a relaxing effect on heart and muscle tissues. (Mate drinkers say they don't have trouble falling asleep.)
• Triggering weight loss. Like green tea, mate may help you lose weight, since it has zero calories and revs up your metabolism.
• A shock wave of antioxidants. Mate has almost twice the cell-renewing capacity of black and green teas.
• Fairer fire. The products we've chosen are fair trade, meaning workers earn a living wage. (BTW, World Fair Trade Day is coming up on May 9.)
• TNTotally Earth-friendly production. Organic cultivation leads to better long-term soil health.

Jen from Renewable Choice Says: I tried Mate when I was in Argentina 15 years ago. While it wasn't the BEST thing I've ever tasted, I did find it quite refreshing after a long, hot day on the pampas. The environmental organization Rock The Earth allows its members discounts on Guayaki Yerba Mate- check them both out. ~Jen
