Rainy Day Blues with Yerba Mate!
If
you’re looking for something to kick start your day, or even something that
will get you through the afternoon without keeping you up all night, The Tea
Shop on MacCurtain Street has just the answer as it prepares to introduce
Guayaki Organic and Fair Trade Yerba Mate to Cork City this summer.
A
favourite for centuries with the indigenous tribes of South America and known
as ‘nature’s most balanced stimulant’, Yerba Mate is high in anti-oxidants and
has been consumed to enhance vitality, clarity, and general well-being. This
herbal tea is a product of the Californian based company Guayaki, the world's
first Fair Trade Yerba Mate supplier and renowned for its environmentally
sustainable projects worldwide.
Now
with growing interest from their customer base and a desire to promote this
natural and tasty stimulant as the energy source of choice for Corkonians, The
Tea Shop have just received their first order from Guayaki and are now serving
a range of Yerba Mates, including Mate Lattes and Mate Mochas. Read more
