What is the Optimal Water Temperature for Brewing Yerba Mate?Updated a month ago

The ideal water temperature for brewing Yerba Mate Tea ranges between 65 and 85 degrees Celsius (149 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit). Exceeding this range can impair the active compounds and nutrients in the leaves, much like with green tea. To achieve the perfect infusion, it's best to use water heated between 70 to 80 degrees Celsius (158 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit), which effectively steeps the leaves without burning the essential nutrients.
