Health Benefits

Yerba mate is like an Olympic weight lifter – it does way more than anyone thinks is possible! To start with, it is an adaptogen, a herbal pharmaceutical, which means it works to counteract the effects of stress on the body & rebalance its systems. Blood pressure reduces, immune system improves, & the metabolism is boosted, becoming more efficient at burning fat for fuel. It’s caffeine content has been shown to enhance alertness without the jittery effects coffee gives. In sports performance, muscle contractions improve & fatigue decreases – a winning combination. The antioxidants, polyphenols & flavonoids are all weapons in the fight against diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, cancer, asthma, stroke & diabetes. It’s understood to be a useful tool in weight management with compounds that act as an appetite suppressant & its ability to prioritise fat burning & increase satiety by slowing gastric emptying. We’ve partnered it with peppermint, star anise and liquorice, which between them offer adrenal, respiratory & digestive support, along with the ability to target migraines, clear sinuses, ease menstrual cramps & fight bacterial infections.

Serving Size 3g

As always, we love to warm the pot a little prior to brewing. One generous teaspoon of Live Wire per person & one for the pot for good measure. Pour over boiling water, wrap the pot in a tea cosy (or a tea towel) & allow to brew for 5-8 minutes. This is also wonderful served cold & we’d suggest hiding it in your water bottle at the gym for secret weapon support!!
