ABOUT OUR YERBA MATE

Rooted in South America. Crafted with Purpose.

At Bohemia Yerba Mate, we believe that a great product begins with respect for nature, the people who grow it, and the traditions behind it. Our yerba mate comes from South American farming regions where this remarkable plant has been cultivated for generations.

We are committed to bringing you authentic yerba mate with a thoughtful approach to sourcing, processing, and quality. From the farms where the leaves are grown to the moment you prepare your cup, every detail matters.

Organic by Standards. Authentic by Nature.

We are committed to sourcing USDA Certified Organic and EU BIO Certified yerba mate, produced in accordance with strict organic regulations. These standards govern agricultural practices, permitted inputs, handling, and processing, helping protect the integrity of the product from farm to package.

Our commitment to organic sourcing also means that glyphosate, a widely used agricultural herbicide, is prohibited in certified organic production. We believe in responsible farming practices and giving customers a more conscious choice when selecting their daily yerba mate.

One Ingredient. Nothing Unnecessary.

Just Yerba Mate. Nothing Else.

Our bag contains just one ingredient: 100% yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), the South American evergreen plant traditionally enjoyed for its distinctive flavor and naturally occurring compounds.

No additives. No added flavors. No artificial colors. We believe the authentic taste of yerba mate should speak for itself, without unnecessary ingredients that can change its natural flavor or character.

Unlike products formulated with additional flavorings, coloring agents, or other ingredients, Bohemia Yerba Mate keeps things simple, letting you experience the natural character of genuine yerba mate.

One plant. One ingredient. Authentic yerba mate.

Unsmoked. A More Thoughtful Way to Enjoy Yerba Mate.

The difference is in how the leaves are dried.

Traditional yerba mate may be dried using direct fire and wood smoke. During combustion, compounds known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can form and transfer to the leaves. Research has detected varying levels of PAHs in commercial yerba mate samples, depending on the product and its processing method.

Bohemia Yerba Mate takes a different approach.

Our yerba mate is dried using hot air rather than direct smoke exposure. This unsmoked process helps reduce the potential for smoke-related PAH contamination while preserving the authentic character of the leaves.

We believe you should not have to choose between tradition, quality, and a more conscious approach to sourcing. That is why we prioritize unsmoked processing and certified organic production standards.

No direct smoke. A more thoughtful drying process. Authentic South American yerba mate.

Less Dust. A Cleaner, More Enjoyable Cup.

Not all yerba mate is processed and packaged the same way. Fine particles and excess dust can accumulate during drying, handling, and transportation, affecting the texture and overall drinking experience.

At Bohemia Yerba Mate, we carefully remove most of the excess dust and fine particles to deliver a cleaner, more enjoyable loose-leaf infusion.

Some people find very fine particles unpleasant to drink, while others may experience stomach discomfort or acidity when consuming yerba mate. Although reducing dust cannot guarantee the prevention of digestive discomfort, we believe attention to leaf quality and processing makes a difference.

More leaf. Less dust. A cleaner, more enjoyable yerba mate experience.

More Than a Drink. A South American Tradition.

Yerba mate represents connection, hospitality, friendship, and the simple pleasure of sharing a moment. Deeply rooted in South American culture, it has brought people together for generations.

At Bohemia Yerba Mate, we honor that heritage while embracing a modern approach to mindful living. We believe enjoying yerba mate should be about more than energy. It is about appreciating the present, connecting with others, and choosing products that reflect what matters to you.

From South American farms to your daily ritual, we bring you authentic yerba mate with a commitment to organic standards, unsmoked processing, a single-ingredient formula, and thoughtful attention to quality.

Bohemia Yerba Mate. Naturally rooted. Consciously crafted.

Enjoy it.
