What is Yerba Matѐ?

Matѐ is a green tea made from the dried leaves of "flex paraguariensis" - an evergreen shrub in the holly family that grows in Central & South America. Matѐ
 (pronounced mah-tay) is most abundant in Paraguay, where it has been the drink of the Guarani Indians for centuries. It is used as a traditional treatment for everything from fatigue to appetite control, repairing damaged gastrointestinal tissues, to strengthening a weakened immune system, to helping as a natural anti-depressant by reducing stress. And so much more! It's one of nature's superfoods (drinks!)

How do I infuse BrainBrew™? ... and, by the way, what does "infuse" mean?

Pour Over | Steep | Soak Penetrate the leaves Infuse is just having the tea steep in water. Never dunk (as in a tea bag!) Pour the water over the leaves and let the water sit in the leaves. Use GOOD WATER at 180 degrees ~ Not Boiling! that's just when the bubbles are coming up from the bottom of the pot! Watch our "Brew Basics" on Youtube "TeaPots n Treasures"

Absolutely not! Matѐ has a naturally organic earthy taste. Just place it in an infuser (we recommend ours!), pour "non-boiling" good water over the tea leaves, steep about 2 minutes and drink up! Need it sweeter? Add a little stevia leaf (we sell this too!) on top of your matѐ
for a natural sweetness or add some delicious honey.

How many cups do I need to drink to see begin seeing results?

People tell us about 2-3 cups. Others say they drink it all day long during the week. Even the die hard coffee drinkers have exchanged our tea for their daily dose of caffeine!

Can I give it to the rest of my family?

Yes, but for small children not too frequently.

How many pots will I get from one bag?

If using our deep infuser, we recommend two level tsp per mug (Re-use the same leaves 6-7 times). If making an entire pot, fill the infuser just shy 1/3 full, steep for approximately 2 minutes for the 1st infusion, and a little longer with each (6-7) infusions later. The first infusion is the one that it filled with mateine. The latter infusions are "mateine/caffeine free" ** You can typically get about 50- 70 cups of tea if you follow the instructions carefully!
