The Gathering Place Organic Yebo! Tea

This unique tea, a 50/50 blend of organic Yerba Mate and organic Rooibos, was created by The Gathering Place. The naturally sweet Rooibos mellows the slightly bitter taste of Yerba Mate and working together, these two teas create a powerful combination. Add Yerba Mate's 24 vitamins and minerals and 15 amino acids to the abundant antioxidants of Rooibos and you've got one of the healthiest drinks in nature. The naturally occurring caffeine (called mateine) in Yerba Mate makes this blend a great morning or afternoon pick me up drink, awakening the mind but calming the nerves. Yebo! means "Yes!" in Zulu; an appropriate name for this stimulating drink.

Put 1 tsp of Yebo! per cup into a teapot, tea strainer, or tea ball. Pour boiled water, slightly cooled, over the tea and let steep for 7 to 10 minutes. This blend should never be boiled as this makes the Yerba Mate bitter and destroys many of its antioxidants and minerals.

Yebo! is delicious plain or with milk and honey.

All of the Gathering Place Rooibos comes from the same organic farm in South Africa. Click here to learn more >>

The Yerba Mate used in the Yebo! blend comes from a sustainable community in Brazil. The Yerba Mate is certified organic and unsmoked. Yerba Mate has been used for centuries by many South American indigenous people as a health tonic offering outstanding antioxidants and health properties.

While Yerba Mate has been used as a base for herbal medicines in South America for centuries, the plant's benefits and therapeutic properties have only recently attracted the attention of international scientists and consumers. The chemical components of Yerba Mate are similar to those found in green tea but this South American tea is much more nutritious. Extremely high in vitamins and minerals, one scientific study concluded that Yerba Mate contained "practically all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life." Other studies have confirmed that it induces mental clarity, reduces fatigue, and aids in weight control.
