KATÚ Ka'a Organic Loose-Leaf Yerba Mate Tea 17.6 oz (500g) — Air-Dried, Unroasted, Smooth Natural Energy

KATÚ Ka'a is an air-dried, unroasted loose-leaf yerba mate that delivers a smooth, traditional herbal flavor and steady natural energy in every cup.

Harvested and handpicked in Paraguay, KATÚ Ka'a undergoes gentle air-drying and 18–24 months of aging to develop a balanced, mild earthy profile without the bitterness or heavy roast notes found in some blends. Certified USDA Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan, this 17.6 oz (500 g) pack offers versatile brewing options — from the classic gourd and bombilla to a French press or teapot — so you can enjoy authentic yerba mate at home or on the go.

How does KATÚ Ka'a taste and how is it processed?

KATÚ Ka'a is an unroasted (raw) yerba mate with a lighter, more traditional flavor than roasted varieties. The leaves are air-dried and aged for up to two years to round out the taste, producing subtle herbal aromas and a mild earthy note without overt sweetness or bitterness.

• Unroasted raw leaves preserve delicate herbal characteristics
• Air-dried to avoid smoky or charred flavors
• Aged 18–24 months for smoother, balanced taste
• Mild earthy profile with a subtle herbal aroma

How much caffeine and what sort of energy does it provide?

KATÚ Ka'a contains a moderate amount of natural caffeine — about 50 mg per 8 oz brewed — which is less than a typical cup of coffee. That translates to a focused, steady lift rather than a sharp spike, making it suitable for sustained alertness without the common coffee jitters for many people.

• Approximately 50 mg caffeine per 8 oz brewed
• Gentle, sustained energy ideal for work or study
• Less intense than a standard coffee cup
• Can be re-steeped multiple times for continued enjoyment

What are the brewing options and serving suggestions?

You can brew KATÚ Ka'a any way you prefer: the classic gourd and bombilla, French press, teapot with a fine strainer, or even cold-brewed for a refreshing iced mate. Steeping times and leaf amounts change the strength — experiment to find your ideal balance between flavor and caffeine.

• Traditional gourd: pack leaves, pour hot (not boiling) water, sip via bombilla
• French press: 1–2 tbsp per 8 oz, steep 3–5 minutes, press and serve
• Teapot/strainer: adjust leaves and steep time for desired strength
• Cold brew: steep in cold water for 6–12 hours for smooth iced mate

What certifications and sourcing standards does this product meet?

KATÚ Ka'a is certified USDA Organic and is non-GMO, gluten-free, and suitable for vegan diets. The yerba mate is sustainably sourced and directly traded from Paraguayan producers, reflecting transparency in supply and quality control.

• USDA Organic certification
• Non-GMO, gluten-free, and 100% vegan
