Is Yerba Mate Safe for Everyone to Drink?Updated 2 months ago

Yes, Mateina's Yerba Mate, which is 100% air-dried, is generally safe for daily consumption. Concerns about Yerba Mate's safety often stem from studies linking smoked Yerba Mate, which contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to certain health risks. PAHs are chemicals known to be carcinogenic when consumed in high concentrations.

Our Yerba Mate undergoes a unique air-drying process, employing warm air instead of smoke. This method effectively eliminates PAHs, ensuring that our leaves are free from these harmful compounds. As a result, our Yerba Mate offers a safe, healthful, and delicately flavored beverage option. Understanding the drying process of Yerba Mate is crucial, so we encourage you to choose air-dried Yerba Mate for its health benefits and safety.
