Yerba mate tereré - refreshment from South America

What is tereré? Yerba mate in a refreshing summer version

Tereré is a traditional way of drinking yerba mate cold, particularly popular in Paraguay, northern Argentina and southern Brazil. Here, instead of pouring hot water over the dry, cold water is reached, often with the addition of ice, mint, citrus or fruit juices. The result? A drink that is refreshing, light and ideal for hot days.

At MateMundo.co.uk, you'll find specially selected yerbs for tereré - blends that work best for this variant. Classic or with the addition of mint, lemon, eucalyptus or fruit - made for a chilled mate drinking ritual.

Why should you try yerba mate cold?

1. refreshment without the caffeine shock

Tereré gives a gentle boost, but without a sudden 'energy surge'. It is ideal for those looking for an infusion with a gentler effect - light on the body but effectively refreshing.

2. perfect for summer and hot days

Cold yerba mate is great for hydrating the body, refreshing and giving a pleasant feeling of coolness - especially when served with ice and citrus. In summer, it becomes a natural alternative to fizzy and sweetened drinks.

3. beginner-friendly

The taste of cold-brewed yerba is milder than the classic brew. The lower intensity and less perceptible bitterness make tereré a good option for people who are just starting out with yerba mate.

How do you prepare tereré?
