Sipping mate with friends and family is an energizing, healthful daily ritual. The Eco Teas Mission: Eco Teas is a small company in southern Oregon owned and run by three best friends. our mission is to offer certified organic sustainably-grown, fairly-traded world teas. Our organic yerba mate comes from the fertile forests of northeastern Argentina. We work in partnership with a 3-generation family farm to ensure outstanding quality. Our farmers dry their yerba with a unique hot-air process for a robust, smoke-free taste.
