ECOTEAS Yerba Mate Matcha Powder Yerba Mate Matcha comes from the ground leaves of the South American holly tree (Ilex paraguariensis). Our ultra-fine yerba mate matcha powder is for hot tea, iced tea, smoothies and more! Simply add 1 heaping teaspoon directly into 8 oz of hot or cold water for instant energy and nutrition. At ECOTEAS, we coined the term “UNSMOKED” to describe our own organic family farm’s exclusive smoke-free 2-stage yerba mate tea drying process. Working together with an Argentine university and a fair trade development fund, we created a unique drying system on our farmer’s land that uses natural gas instead of firewood. The system is far more efficient and clean than any other technology that is currently available. Both stages are 100% smoke-free. OUR MISSION Support organic agriculture, fair trade, and sustainability. Expand access to healthy, delicious world teas through affordable, fair pricing. Minimize packaging through cutting-edge compostable materials and simplicity of design to deliver exceptional teas with minimal impact on the earth and cost-conscious budgets. OUR STORY ECOTEAS was born of the belief that conscious business has a role to play in restoring balance to the earth and our bodies. Lifelong friends Stefan Schachter, Brendan Girard, and Joseph Chermesino founded ECOTEAS in Ashland, Oregon in the year 2000. In those early years, we packaged our products by hand and served tea at local farmers markets to get the word out. After two decades of service, ECOTEAS remains privately owned and operated by its original founders.
