MOUNTAINSIDE MATE´ {iced tea}
Fresh green yerba maté from Brazil brightened with a splash of sumac berry and lemon verbena.
The ultimate energizing, herbal summer brew!
Health notes: Yerba mate is highly regarded from centuries of enjoyment in South America. Its tradition notes that it benefits include deep nourishment to the body with easily absorbed vitamins and minerals, weight loss support, focus and energy enhancing properties, blood sugar regulation support, and gentle cleansing to the system.
We didn’t stop here… we added in the antioxidant rich Sumac berry to support battling oxidative damage and blood sugar support to further balance metabolism.
We also invited the gently soothing lemon verbena to bring forth even more weight loss support through its noted appetite soothing properties and for its nervous system nourishment to pair well with the energizing Mate for the perfectly balanced pick me up.
