About Mate Teas
Hi, I'm Nelson Drago with Chado Tea Room located in Los Angeles on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we will be talking about Mate Teas. Mate's are a strong Argentinean herb growing with stimulants in them. Let me show you the Mate's we carry. This is one of our Mate's called Yerba Mate. It's greener, lighter but again it has stimulant in it. These are some of Mate related accessories which in Argentina is a traditional way of drinking Mate; the gourd and the bombilla. We also have a Mate flavored with mango which is called Mate Energizer and that would be right here. It's with marigold and mango. Excellent on ice or hot. The third Mate we carry is the Mate Carnival. It's almost a coffee substitute, people that drink coffee would definitely drink Mate Carnival. It's strong Mate with some marigold, cocoa and a little bit of chocolate flavor to it. Our last Mate would be our Roasted Mate which is straight Mate. A little bit smoky, a little bit stronger than any of the other Mate's Again, it doesn't have caffeine but it has strong amount of stimulant in them and it comes from Argentina.
