42 Roasted Mate – Low-Caffeine Coffee Alternative. Enjoy hot or cold. pure or sweetened. This leafy roasted mate from Brasil has a maltier taste than traditional green Mates, with a nutty flavour which makes its an ideal coffee substitute. Roasted in a manner similar to coffee, this Mate yields an flavorful drink providing energy without jitteriness. It has a toasty, comforting chicory note that combines well with milk and sugar as well. This Mate can be enjoyed warm as a coffee substitute, either black or sweetened with milk and sugar. If using a french press, use 2 Tbs Mate with 1L boiling water and let it infuse for 2-5 minutes. We recommend grinding this mate in a coffee grinder when using it in an espresso machine or filter in order to intensify the flavour. Alternatively it is popular as a refreshing iced summer drink on the beaches in Brasil.
