Maté Raspberry Tea

Maté Raspberry Tea blends yerba maté with raspberry leaves and colourful botanicals for a fresh, leafy infusion with gentle tannin and earthy depth.

Despite the product name, the supplied ingredients do not include raspberry fruit or raspberry flavouring. Raspberry leaf contributes mild herbal structure rather than a sweet berry taste.

Yerba maté foundation: Yerba maté provides the blend's grassy, earthy character and naturally occurring caffeine.

Raspberry leaf structure: Raspberry leaves add mild tannin, clean herbal flavour, and a lightly drying finish.

Colourful botanicals: Safflower and sunflower add visual contrast to the loose blend.

Hot or cold preparation: The blend can be brewed in a basket infuser, flash chilled over ice, or infused slowly in cold water.

Aroma: Fresh cut grass, dried herbs, and a soft hay like note.

Flavour: Earthy and vegetal yerba maté with mild raspberry leaf tannin.

Body: Light to medium with a smooth herbal texture.

Finish: Clean, leafy, mildly bitter, and gently drying.

Flavour impression: A fresh botanical maté blend rather than a sweet or tart raspberry fruit tea.

Tea amount: Use approximately 4 grams or 1 heaped teaspoon for every 250 millilitres of water.

Water temperature: Heat fresh water to 75°C to 80°C or 167°F to 176°F.

Steeping time: Steep for 3 to 5 minutes in a roomy basket infuser, then strain completely.

Adjust to taste: Begin at 3 minutes for a lighter cup. Use more leaf for greater strength rather than boiling water or an excessively long steep.

Brewing tip: Boiling water can make yerba maté taste harsh and overly bitter.

Make a concentrated infusion: Use approximately 8 grams for every 250 millilitres of water.

Brew gently: Use water at 75°C to 80°C and steep for 3 to 5 minutes.

Serve over ice: Strain completely and pour into a heat safe glass or pitcher filled with ice.

Finish to taste: Add lemon, orange, fresh mint, or a small amount of honey if desired.

Cold infusion option: Combine approximately 5 grams with 250 millilitres of cold water, refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours, strain, and serve chilled.

This blend contains caffeine naturally present in yerba maté.

The amount in each cup varies with the proportion of maté, serving size, water temperature, and steeping time. Enjoy it during the morning or afternoon if caffeine affects your sleep.

Individual responses to caffeine vary. Begin with a smaller serving if you are sensitive to its effects.

Enjoy it plain: Careful brewing highlights its earthy maté character and gentle herbal structure.

Add citrus: Lemon or orange can brighten the vegetal flavour without suggesting that the blend contains raspberry fruit.

Pair with savoury foods: Serve with toasted nuts, mild cheese, avocado toast, grain bowls, or lightly seasoned sandwiches.

Serve chilled: Iced maté is refreshing with citrus slices and fresh mint.

Serving guidance: Let every hot drink cool to a comfortable temperature before sipping. Brewing temperature and drinking temperature are not the same.

Form: Loose leaf caffeinated botanical blend.

Ingredients: Maté, raspberry leaves, safflower, sunflower.

Storage: Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, moisture, and strong odours.

Pregnancy and medication guidance: This blend contains caffeine and raspberry leaf. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, sensitive to caffeine, managing a health condition, or taking medication, consult a qualified healthcare professional before regular use.
