Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 12:46PM Sometimes, when I taste my first sip of yerba mate in the morning, I feel like an inflatable man that has lost a bit of air in the night, and the yerba mate is filling me back up. I feel the air pressure go back into the tips of my fingers and my toes. I stand up staight. I feel ... so much better.

Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 11:36AM Once in a while, I like to get really amped up. Say, when I'm going out dancing all night. Or just starting a new creative project. That's when I brew a little treat they first cooked up down in artsy Cordoba, Argentina. I add a hefty spoonful of organic, fair trade coffee to the bombilla pit in my mate gourd (Noble Coffee is one of my favs). The mate and the coffee combine to give a really potent punch that is surprisingly not too edgy. The spumo (natural foam) from this combo is a brilliant opalescent blend of greens, blacks, and rainbows. You better go try it before I start writing poems about it!
Friday, August 28, 2009 at 12:04PM Yerba Mate is a unique tea in many ways. Did you know ... By the end of 2009, yerba mate will be the only type of tea that sells better in the US as a loose tea product than as a tea bag product. All other teas--green, black, rooibos, herbal, medicinal--sell better as tea bags. Only yerba mate sells better as a loose tea. Leading the way in the natural marketplace is the EcoTeas 'One Pound Loose'.
