Mate tea is also often used as an appetite suppressant, the bitter substances it contains are said to relieve the feeling of hunger and help with weight loss. In addition to its positive effects, mate tea is also very popular because of its wonderful taste. The drink is slightly bitter and has an earthy and smoky note.
