WHY DOES RAINFOREST-GROWN YERBA MATE PROVIDE MORE HEALTH BENEFITS?
Unlike commercially-produced, nutrient-starved plantation mate grown in direct sunlight, Guayakí Yerba Mate is grown in its native rainforest environment sheltered from sunlight by the upper canopy and drawing from a rich life-giving 100% organic soil. Yerba mate leaves cultivated in the rainforest are dark emerald green, thick and waxy (the way nature intended)– a shocking difference to the maté leaves seen while touring South America’s commercial yerba mate plantations.
