Steeping Instructions
Yerba Mate Tea Brewing Instructions
Energize your day with a cup of yerba mate tea using this traditional method:
- Fill your mate gourd or french press ¾ full with yerba mate leaves (a coarse grind is best).
- Cover the opening with your thumb or a bombilla (metal straw) and tilt the gourd to one side. This helps separate the leaves from the stem.
- Pour hot water (not boiling, ideally 175-195°F depending on desired strength) over the leaves, filling the gourd or french press ¾ full. Do not pour boiling water directly on the leaves.
- Let it steep for 3-5 minutes. Avoid over-steeping, as it can make the tea bitter.
- Sip through the bombilla, avoiding the leaves at the bottom. The bombilla filters out the leaves.
- You can refill the gourd with hot water for multiple steeps. Yerba mate leaves can be steeped multiple times.
- A special mate gourd and bombilla are traditionally used for yerba mate, but a french press can be substituted.
- Start with cooler water (around 175°F) for a milder brew and adjust the temperature for your preference (up to 195°F). Hotter water will produce a stronger brew.
- Experiment with steeping times to find your perfect balance of flavor and strength.
