What are Organic Goji Berries? (Lycium barbarum)
Lycium barbarum is a common species of the genus Lycium that is found in lowland areas across Asia. The deciduous, woody tree is known for its bright red berries, which are enjoyed for their healthful properties. Lycii berries are almost entirely similar to goji berries, only with their growing regions being the largest discernable difference. Lycii berry, also referred to as wolfberry, can be eaten raw, steeped as tea, or incorporated into culinary recipes such as trail mix, desserts, and smoothies.
PLEASE NOTE! Goji berry and lycii berry are virtually the same, with the only discernable difference is that goji is usually a high-altitude strain of Lycium and is commonly found in the Himalayas, Nepal, and Tibet, whereas lycii berry is the more common variety found in lowland areas. For trade purposes they are usually considered the same. Lycium barbarum belongs to the Solanaceae plant family.
Lycii berry, otherwise known to herbalists as goji, Chinese Wolfberry, or Chinese boxthorn, is a bright red, almost chewy berry with a taste very similar to raisins. It has been used as a general nutrient tonic (Yin tonic) for many years and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to it as a cooling tonic. TCM practitioners suggest that lycii should never be taken for acute colds or flu, because it will have the tendency to bring a sickness deeper. Whole berries can be eaten raw, as they have a pleasant taste. Or they can be included in food or prepared as a tea.

Organic Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis)
Botanical Name: Ilex paraguariensis
Certified Organic
Country of Origin: Brazil
Production: Yerba Mate belongs to the Aquifoliaceae family, which is originally from the subtropical regions of South America, but is also present in the southern region of Brazil, and in the northern regions of Argentina and Paraguay. Our mate is grown in Brazil, in the wild among the local plants and animals, and is harvested every 2 years in alternating patches, so as to ensure a well developed plant and nutritional profile, with the intention of preserving the sustainability of the area. It was first consumed by the indigenous Guaraní and Quechua people who drank tea made from the leaves. In present-day South America (particularly Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, and southern Brazil), yerba mate continues to be a widely consumed staple and is a celebrated part of everyday culture.
Qualities: Mate has been claimed to have many positive effects on human health. In some cases it has been shown to be useful as a weight loss tool, to improve the mood, and increase mental energy and focus.
Common Use: Mate is most commonly prepared as a tea. Traditionally, it is drunk from an apple-sized, hollow gourd (called mate in Spanish), through a metal straw (bombilla), refilled, and passed along. It is made by filling the gourd ¾ full with the dried leaves and then covering it with water that is hot but not boiling. Sugar may be added if desired. Mate can also be prepared with cold water or lemonade (called tereré).
Internationally, mate is enjoyed as a tea, in the traditional vessel or in tea bags. It has a bitter, yet refreshing flavor and is a well-balanced stimulant that provides energy and nutrition. The caffeine content of yerba mate varies between that of green tea and coffee. It can be prepared with milk, honey, lemon, mint, and many more delicious combinations.
