🌿 Yerba Mate Infusions: How to Elevate Your Sip with Natural Flavor and Function

Yerba mate infusions are when you steep yerba mate with additional ingredients—herbs, fruits, spices, or even flowers—to create a personalized blend with added benefits or flavor.

Whether you drink it hot or cold (as tereré), these infusions let you customize your experience:

• Add calmness

• Support digestion

• Boost energy

• Or just make your mate taste amazing

Infusions have been part of South American yerba mate culture for generations, especially in Paraguay, where cold-brewed mate (tereré) is often paired with local medicinal herbs called remedios yuyos.

In Paraguay, tereré is more than a drink—it’s a daily wellness ritual. Locals often add native herbs known as pohã ñana to their cold mate to support health, balance, and flavor.

• Menta (Mint): Cooling, refreshing, digestive

• Boldo: Supports liver function

• Cedrón (Lemon verbena): Calming, soothing

• Cocú (Lemongrass): Great for digestion

• Ka’a He’ê (Stevia leaves): Natural sweetness, no sugar

Each blend is personal, rooted in family traditions and even passed down generationally.

Not in Paraguay? No problem. You can easily infuse your Teko yerba mate at home with fresh ingredients for both hot and iced drinks.

• Lemon + Ginger – Detoxifying and bright

• Orange + Mint – Refreshing and energizing

• Pineapple + Basil – Tropical and unique

• Berries + Lemon – Tangy and sweet

• Rosemary + Citrus Peel – Uplifting and aromatic

• Lavender + Chamomile – Relaxing and floral

• Turmeric + Black Pepper – Anti-inflammatory and bold

Simply steep these with your yerba mate or cold brew them in water with your Teko stick.

Teko makes it incredibly easy to experiment. Since each stick already contains real yerba mate, South American fruit flavors, and a touch of natural stevia, you’re starting with a clean, balanced base.

• Brew a Teko stick in cold or hot water.
• Add herbs or fruits directly to your cup or thermos.
• Let them steep for 5–10 minutes.
• Sip and enjoy the upgraded flavor and benefits.

Try Teko Balance with mint + cucumber or Teko Boost with orange + ginger for a simple, powerful combo.

Infusions aren’t just about flavor—they’re about connection, intention, and wellness. Whether you’re keeping tradition alive or creating your own modern ritual, infusing yerba mate is a beautiful way to care for yourself.

With Teko, we’re bringing that spirit into a portable, modern format—ready to drink, easy to customize, and rooted in Paraguayan heritage.

Yerba mate infusions are where tradition meets creativity. They're soothing, energizing, and endlessly customizable. With a few fresh ingredients—and maybe a Teko stick or two—you can turn your daily drink into a ritual of flavor and wellness.
