ECOTEAS Organic Yerba Mate Teas

🌱 Whole Ingredients: 100% organic yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis). Yerba mate is a naturally caffeinated South American plant traditionally brewed as an energy tea. ECOTEAS uses an air-drying (unsmoked) process instead of drying the leaves over wood smoke, resulting in a smoother flavor without smoke byproducts.

🚫 No Nasties: No preservatives, no additives, no artificial flavors, no “natural flavors,” no sweeteners, and no fillers.

🫙 Packaging: Kraft paper bag. Before final approval, we recommend confirming whether the inner freshness liner is paper, compostable, or plastic-lined, as this isn’t clearly disclosed by the manufacturer.

✨ Hippiekit Take: Most energy drinks and even bottled yerba mate products contain hidden flavorings, preservatives, or plastic packaging. ECOTEAS keeps it simple with one organic ingredient, making it one of the cleanest natural energy teas we’ve found.
