How to Make Yerba Mate
Five simple steps — and a lifetime of refills.
Fill your mate cup ½ with loose leaf yerba mate.
Tilt the cup so the mate rests at an angle.
Insert the bombilla (metal straw) into the empty side.
Pour hot water at 75–80°C (165–175°F) — never boiling.
Sip slowly and refill with warm water up to 20+ times.
The first few sips are the strongest. Let it mellow as you refill — revealing subtle changes in flavor with each pour.
Sip it your way.

Yerba mate is a naturally caffeinated leaf, traditionally brewed in a gourd and sipped through a metal straw called a bombilla. For centuries it has fueled gauchos, families and friends across South America.
In Argentina, mate isn't just a drink — it's a daily ritual of focus and connection, passed between people in an unhurried rhythm.
Branch 6:26 sources exclusively from a 4th-generation family farm in Misiones, Argentina — where the leaf is grown, harvested and air-dried the traditional way.
"Branch 6:26 is sourced from a single 4th-generation family farm in Misiones, Argentina — air-dried, never smoked, single ingredient."
