Secret Wonder Tea

I found this product by reading an issue of Women's World. I'm a nurse that was 60 pounds over weight.

I joined Weight Watcher's approximately 8 weeks ago. I have lost some weight, but found myself becoming hungry in the middle of my shift. After reading the article in the magazine I thought I'd try Mate. OH MY GOD, it's great stuff. I have found that since I started drinking 2-3 cups of the tea on a day to day basis that I have a lot more energy and have found myself without hunger pains. In fact, I have found that I have to remind myself to eat because I don't get hungry. It's a great product, great taste and am now finding it hard to purchase in our part of the country. Everyone else must have learned of the secret wonder tea also.

A Magic Tonic

While meeting my friend's daughter from California I was pleased to be introduced to what this California girl calls "the best alternative to coffee."

I was immediately intrigued. Me being an on and off coffee drinker since the age of 17 when the whole Starbucks explosion began in Seattle, I had learned the hard way that the media will convince anybody that anything is healthy just to make the almighty buck. What all these Starbucks-duped media fools said was healthy has been linked with numerous health problems such as elevated cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, increased levels of "the stress hormone" cortisol, spontaneous abortion in pregnant women, and the one that is totally obvious to anyone who has tried to kick coffee--ADDICTION!!!! And the lies still continue today. The latest I have heard is that it helps you lose weight. I would be sick at my stomach right now thinking about it if it were not for my morning serving of mate. What is funny is the numerous times I have quit drinking coffee I have lost weight only to regain it after being once again sucked into Starbucks. The roller coaster had gotten me so frazzled and that is why I gladly tried what this California girl went on and on about-- even going so far as to go onto the internet and print off information about mate for me to read. While it was brewing I read the pages and pages of documentation about this miraculous tonic. I had not even tasted the stuff and I was convinced that my battle with coffee was about to end. Then she brought me a mate latte made with cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a little Splenda (I am a low-carb dieter). It tasted so good but that was not the main attraction. What totally blew me away was that I was stimulated but not jittery yet at the same time totally relaxed with a peaceful happy feeling.And what is so wonderful about this magic tonic is that every benefit that I have read about has been TRUE!!!!! And I have not had a cup of coffee in 3 weeks. And I feel fantastic. I have not yelled at my family because of the calming effect mate has on me and I wake up in the morning refreshed because of the good nights sleep I get (I was previously a horrible insomniac) and the heartburn usually associated with drinking coffee is nonexistent and I don't feel like I HAVE to drink mate. Now if only the media would catch on they could honestly inspire and help Americans kick the coffee habit that has us all checking into hospitals. I envision Americans walking around feeling like I do after drinking mate and I think world peace just might within the realm of possibility.

I don't know other health benefits, but I know it works for me in loosing weight.

About 2 years ago, I attended a reggae concert in the northern CA. Reggae on the river. I was introduced to yerba mate by a beautiful girl I met there. I was skeptical at first, and bought 2 bags to just preserve the rain forest. At the concert, feeling very tired, my friend told me to drink the yerba  mate to energize my body. I first drank it cold and the good thing I noticed that I was able to refill the same potion several time without losing its strenght. Back home, I kept drinking as a tea or mix it with my regular herbal tea. 2 weeks later, I started loosing weight without for reasons I ignored. I was afraid. I made an appointment to see my Doctor. At the weight in, the nurse, was worried on my weight loss. I was embarrassed and told her, I am in weight loss diet, but I was not. She replied back to me that, It is very dangerous to loose this amount of weight in a month as my previous appt was a month ago. The DR addressed the same issue. It took me 2 weeks to realize that the yerba  mate had some thing to do with it. I therefore experimented it. I stopped drinking it for 1 month and half. I went to the GYM to lift weight and took some weight gain supplement to compensate my weigh loss. I gain back my weight of 207 lbs and I am 6 ft. I started to drink Yerba  mate 32 oz iced water cold , 4 times a days a work. (refill the same serving in a water bottle). I realized how many pounds I loss after 2 weeks. I don't know other health benefits, but I know it works for me in loosing weight. This a true story. -- Adama Amadou Perry Traore

Gift From Heaven

Years ago when I was in the US Army, I went to Argentina for some time. I drank Yerba  mate there and brought home several pounds and several gourds and cups and such. Since then I had not found any here in the states. About 3 months ago my doctor told me I needed to change my diet, as well as find a way to lower my stress level. With my work, it was hard to do that and give up the coffee. My health continued to decline and I kept gaining weight. I needed to do somethig fast. All the the pills I was given just took all my energy out of me and made me gain weight.
I was in Evermans food store in Pensacola Florida and there it was on the shelf - Yerba  mate and it was in loose form like I had several years before. It was like a gift from heaven.

Well, since I have replaced the coffee, tea, sodas, and all of my prescriptions to reduce stress. I have been full of energy all day. I have lost 10 pounds and still loosing weight. I can think more clearly, and I even sleep better at night! I have made Guayakí Yerba  mate a major part of my diet and plan to continue to do so for years to come!
Thanks for so much,
Jeremy

i am a college student who became hooked on mate during high school--my friend has an Argentinian mother who is completely addicted and in love with mate and she shared that love with her daughter and all her daughter's friends--luckily, this includes me! i absolutely love having yerba mate gatherings at school, getting all my friends to sit around and unwind and chat about life and love as we sip energizing and delicious mate from my gourd and bombilla. it's the perfect way to bring people together peacefully and harmoniously, and i can't recommend it enough. and plus, mate is DELICIOUS!

Refreshing and Energizing!

Hi! A friend just shared some Yerba Mate with me.  It is a very refreshing and energizing beverage with the wonderful properties of curbing your appetite!  I found the later statement to be extremely helpful since I have been battling my weight.  I am no longer always hungry.

Another dynamic reason to partake is the fact it does not have the negative properties of caffeine.  I can only drink one cup of coffee in the morning or I will be up all night with the negative side effects of caffeine.  Yerba mate has the wonderful properties of energizing and not keeping you up at night.

The first time I tried Yerba Mate was at the Natural Foods Expo in Baltimore 1999. The show Floor was like a mountain to tackle not to mention that I came to the expo sporting the flu.  When I bumped into the Guayakí table, there were friendly faces shaking up Mate Latte's. To my delight not only did it taste great but it gave me that extra boost of energy that I needed to make it around that conference center several times with no signs of fatigue. Thanks to yerba  mate by the time I finished my rounds on the floor My flu was gone and I was energized enough to began my Journey back to Detroit, MI.

I also use your yerba mate tea as an appetite suppressant when I am dieting or fasting.

I was hooked...

So thank you for offering us this fabulous tea!! Oh by the way I have also lost about 8 lbs in about a month. xoxo Wendy

I Love This Tea!

I drink at least a cup a day. Usually two. After reading the Woman's World article, I bought the only flavor available at my local health store, the Traditional. Skeptical and not a hot tea drinker, I was amazed at the taste. Not bad. After adding a fresh lemon slice, I am now addicted to this tea. After recently losing 73 pounds naturally, I drink this to help maintain my weight. As a mother of three, I thrive on the energy boost I get. My daily cup of hot yerba  mate tea with a lemon wedge is my way of relaxing and doing something good for my health. I have tried other teas but the only tea I care for is my yerba  mate.

It is all about the journey. Just recently I changed my diet and decided to become a vegetarian. I started shopping at Whole Foods. I was not a regular coffee drinker but I did indulge every now and again. I was walking through the aisles of Whole Foods and decided I needed tea. I bought Yerba Mate. I was not a regular tea drinker either.......that is until now. I feel GREAT to say the least. I am losing weight. I have so much energy. I feel on top of the world. In 2005 I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. I went through all the treatments...surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. I was the best patient..had a good attitude. Well, my autopilot ways crashed when I completed treatment. Over the next several months I found myself sinking into a depression. I gained weight..which was not good for my health. I did not care about anything. Well, I wanted to turn my situation around so I changed my diet. Coming across this tea was an added blessing. Initially I thought it was just the change in diet that attributed to me having so much energy. I read the box from the tea and I was like, 'Wow is it the tea that has me feeling so great'. I researched it and it is definitely the tea. I know my change in diet is a plus too but your company just do not know how much my life has changed. I am a forever customer to this tea. I read a testimonial where the person said it is costly in their area but they still purchase it. I am totally in agreement with him. It does not matter the cost for me, this tea has aided in me wanting to participate in life. I know there are more great days to come.
