Mate is a tonic and energizing drink in case of physical and mental fatigue, but above all it is a social ritual that belongs to South America and its native peoples who have benefited from it for centuries. In fact, mate leaves boast antioxidant and slimming properties, promote the drainage of excess fluids and stimulate the metabolism. This erva mate comes from Brazil, where it is grown organically by small farmers in Copermate, a reality linked to the Sem Terra peasant movement, which has supported them since the 1980s in the fight for the right to land and its fair distribution.
