Botanical Name: Ilex Paraguariensis
Country of Origin: Brazil
English Name: Yerba Mate Green C/S
French Name: Yerba Maté Vert Coupé
Also Known As: Green Mate, Paraguay Tea
Part Used: Leaves and small stems of Ilex paraguariensis
Description: Yerba Mate Green C/S is prepared from the leaves and small stems of Ilex paraguariensis, an evergreen tree native to South America, particularly Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay. The tree typically grows between 6 and 15 metres tall, developing glossy, oval-shaped deep green leaves with finely serrated edges. Harvesting takes place when the foliage is fully developed, ensuring consistent colour and botanical quality. The fresh leaves are traditionally heat-treated shortly after harvest to halt natural oxidation, then carefully dried to preserve their green appearance and structural integrity.
After drying, the material is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing a blend of visible leaf pieces and fine stem sections. This process maintains the botanical identity of Ilex paraguariensis while creating a consistent cut suitable for infusion and blending.
The finished Yerba Mate Green C/S displays a vibrant green to olive-green colour with crisp leaf fragments and light woody stem pieces. The texture is lightweight and free flowing, remaining stable during storage while retaining its recognizable leafy appearance. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending across applications.
Uses: Yerba Mate Green C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions and herbal blends where green leaf material is preferred. It is also suitable for botanical formulations, cosmetic products, bath blends, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating evergreen leaf structure and South American plant morphology. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable leaf fragments.
