Vanilla Nut Java Mate
Guayaki

We’re all still amazed that a leaf from a South American tree, and a nut harvested from the tropical rainforest floor can taste so much like coffee. Not only does it taste like coffee, it tastes like expensive, vanilla flavored coffee but without the acid that comes with a cup of Joe.

This Vanilla Nut flavor is rich and has the slightly smoky background flavor of the Yerba Mate leaf. Yerba Mate is a tree that grows under the protective rainforest canopy in South America and its leaves have been used for centuries to make a tea that is energizing and nutritious. The leaves and stems are flash dried and then lightly smoked over a fire. Then, the leaves and stems are aged in cedar chambers for a year. The result is a sweet, smoky, rich flavor that is very distinctive. When blended with the Ramon nut, the flavor of coffee emerges.

The ingredients are organic yerba mate’, roasted Ramon nut, organic roasted Maca, organic roasted chicory, organic vanilla flavor, organic hazelnut flavor and organic nutmeg. Prepare this 7-ounce bag of loose tea in a French press or a coffee maker and drink it hot or over ice. Blend it with your choice of sweetener and milk or cream and you have a rich latte’.

Don’t think that because this contains caffeine and tastes like coffee that this is bad for you. Yerba Mate is known for its vitamins and minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. Considered an energizing health drink with longevity qualities, this beverage is good for you. The benefits are more energy, focus and improved digestion; the taste is vanilla roasted coffee. We think that’s a terrific combination!
