Ingredients Roasted Yerba Mate, Nutmeg Chips, Cardamom Pods Green, Cloves, Cinnamon Chips, Ginger Cut, Black Peppercorns Cracked, Star Anise Benefits of The Botanical Brothers' Yerba Mate Chai and Masala Spice Tea: Energy Boost: Yerba mate contains caffeine, offering a smooth and sustained energy boost without the harsh crashes often associated with coffee or energy drinks. The roasting process can reduce bitterness, making it a better option for those sensitive to caffeine. Additionally, theobromine and theophylline present in yerba mate provide mild stimulant effects, contributing to enhanced energy and endurance. Rich in Antioxidants: Yerba mate is loaded with antioxidants, including polyphenols and flavonoids, which help neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. These compounds support heart health, boost the immune system, and may even help reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, including cancer. Improved Mental Clarity: Yerba mate enhances mental alertness and focus, owing to its unique blend of caffeine and compounds like theobromine and theophylline. Together, they provide cognitive benefits without overstimulation, improving concentration, mood, and reaction time. These effects may also promote better learning and memory retention. Supports Digestion: Yerba mate has been traditionally used to aid digestion by stimulating the production of bile and gastric acids. This can help in breaking down fats and promote smoother digestion, making it beneficial for those dealing with indigestion or sluggish digestion. Weight Management: Some studies suggest yerba mate can support weight loss by increasing metabolism and promoting fat oxidation. It may also reduce appetite by prolonging the feeling of fullness, helping to control overeating. Anti-inflammatory Properties: The antioxidants and saponins in yerba mate possess anti-inflammatory properties, which may help alleviate inflammation and lower the risk of related conditions, such as arthritis or cardiovascular disease. Immune System Support: Yerba mate contains saponins, compounds that are known for their immune-boosting properties. It helps bolster the body's natural defenses, potentially protecting against infections and supporting overall immune function. Cardiovascular Health: Regular consumption of yerba mate may improve heart health by lowering cholesterol levels, reducing blood pressure, and preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. These effects contribute to a reduced risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues. Directions for the perfect cup: Each tea bag contains 2g of tea. For a cup of Yerba Mate Roasted Chai, it's recommended to use 1-2 tea bags, while for a teapot, 4-6 tea bags are ideal for a richer brew. Heat water to a temperature of 65-70°C. Avoid boiling water, as it can cause the yerba mate to become bitter. Pour the hot water over the tea bags in your cup or teapot. Let the yerba mate steep for 3-5 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavour will be, so adjust the steeping time to your taste preference. Enjoy your tea! You can re-infuse the same yerba mate leaves at least once or twice, with each infusion offering a slightly different flavor profile. For added sweetness or creaminess, feel free to mix in honey or milk.

Steps for the Best Method of Making Loose Leaf Chai Choose Your IngredientsGather your Indian Masala Chai blend, You can also add fresh ginger, whole spices or sweeteners like honey or sugar to customise your chai. Boil Water and Milk (Optional)Start by boiling water. If you prefer a creamier chai, use a combination of water and milk (or a dairy-free alternative) in equal parts or adjust to your preference. Typically, you'll want about 1 cup of liquid per serving. Add Loose Leaf ChaiOnce your water (or water and milk mixture) starts boiling, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of Indian Masala Chai per cup. If you want a stronger flavour, opt for 2 teaspoons. Stir the mixture to ensure the tea leaves and spices are well distributed. Simmer for Flavour ExtractionReduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes. Simmering helps extract the full flavour of the spices and tea. The longer you simmer, the more robust and spiced your chai will be. Sweeten (Optional)Add sweeteners like honey, sugar or agave syrup to taste. Some traditional chai recipes call for a sweetener added during the simmering stage, which helps dissolve it more easily and enhances the overall flavour, but this is your personal choice. Strain the TeaAfter simmering, strain the chai through a fine-mesh sieve or tea strainer to remove the tea leaves and spices. Make sure to press down on the leaves and spices with a spoon to extract as much flavour as possible. Serve and EnjoyPour the strained chai into cups and enjoy your freshly brewed Indian Masala Chai. You can adjust sweetness or add extra milk based on your preference. For an authentic touch, you can top it off with a sprinkle of cinnamon or ground cardamom. Tips: If you want a stronger chai, you can brew the tea longer or increase the tea-to-water ratio. For iced chai, let the tea cool and serve over ice. You can add fresh spices to enhance the depth of flavour.
