Mate Factor is Unique

  • Fresh, not aged
  • No smoky flavor

Taste and Feel the Difference

The Factor

Taking care to preserve the herb's natural vibrancy, vitamins, enzymes, bio-active components and flavor is the factor that delivers this delicious product to you. Mate available today is typically aged for at least one year. However, we deliver something special — Fresh Yerba Mate, with all the secrets of nature still intact. We process out Mate immediately upon harvest, seal in airtight packaging, and rush export to preserve freshness.

Love Heat, No Smoky Flavor

We carefully dry our herb using a process that protects its vital nutrients and natural flavor, which is smooth and delicious.

We Trade Fairly

Mate Factor is founded upon and practices fair trading ethics. We have a personal friendship with our producers and enjoy helping increase the quality of life in their local communities.

Discover Yerba Mate and Energize the Brazilian Way

Stands Out in the Crowd of Energizers

Mate enhances mental clarity, gives long lasting energy, while found by most to be free from the unpleasant side effects associated with coffee and other energizers.

More Antioxidants than Green Tea

Studies reveal Mate to be higher in antioxidants than green tea, partly due to its high Polyphenol content. Yerba Mate also contains vitamins including C, B1 and B2, as well as minerals important for metabolism including Chromium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Potassium and Zinc. Our Mate is rich in bio-active compounds including Chlorophyll, Pantothenic Acid, Quercetin and Rutin.

Helps Manage Weight

Yerba Mate is widely accepted as an aid to weight management along with a healthy diet and exercise.

    Best by

    The length of time for "Best By" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
    Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter "Best By" dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
    Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct "Best By" dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
