Attention Tea and Coffee Lovers

So I discovered this GREAT new tea! Yerba Mate Latte.

It's made by The Republic of Tea.

It's a deep, chocolaty brew that taste mildly like coffee or chai tea. It contains an exotic blend of cocoa and Brazilian Mate,Rooibos, cactus flowers and almonds.

It's all about the Brazilian Mate. Yerba mate is very popular in South America, as popular - and perhaps more so - than coffee is here. Users report a mental state of wakefulness, focus and alertness.

Throughout South America, yerba mate is utilised as a tonic, diuretic, and as a stimulant to reduce fatigue, curb the appetite, and helps with gastric functions. In Brazil, yerba mate is believed to stimulate the nervous and muscular systems and is used for digestive problems, renal colic, nerve pain, depression, fatigue, and obesity. Some of these claims have now been backed up by scientific research!


Best yet....it helps you lose weight! Brazilian Mate has also been found to be thermogenic, which means that this herb encourages the body to burn calories.
