Naturally grown in the high-altitude forests in Southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Northern Argentina, the yerba mate tree leaves are roasted and infused generally to produce mate, a beverage rich in caffeine. GURU Yerba Mate consists of guarana, which is an Amazonian plant that has energy-boosting properties. The plant has also been used as an ingredient in various other GURU energy beverages since 1999.
