Grow your own Yerba Mate and enjoy this popular South American tea as an alternative beverage to coffee. In Latin America, Yerba Mate is the beverage of choice and has a smoother taste than green tea, plus it’s loaded with antioxidants. The plant itself makes a wonderful potted plant for its graceful full-leafed branches. Under warm temperatures, it grows throughout the year, even in the north as a potted plant with flowers arriving during the winter and spring months. The leaves can be harvested once the plant is established.

Exceeded expectations

Received two plants in very good condition. I bought these because Yerba mate is one of my favorite drinks and i have dreams of harvesting some from my own greenhouse. I transplanted into gallon pots after about 3 days and less than two weeks later they have doubled in size. I want to buy more of these so i can have my own yerba mate factory :)

Very nice plant!

This plant has survived for several months now and seems to be healthy. It took about two weeks and then began to grow and after i moved it to another window with more sun it has stoped growing for the last month. This Plant has been something i wanted for making Yerba Mate for a while and with this growth rate i feel it will be a while but so worth the wait.
