Thinking outside the cup of tea

founder associate
Victoria shared with us the origin of this passionate project:
“ I had this crazy idea while sipping a cup of yerba mate tea at my Brooklyn apartment! It did not taste like the Mate I was used to drink in South America and for my surprise neither was produced in South America where the Mate comes from. This was a revealing fact that fueled my hunger for adventure. My research work drove me all the way to Buenos Aires where I was born and where I started this amazing journey. Next I was on a bus on my way to the Rainforest at the northern east region of the country where all this crazy idea became a project and then a company. I found myself surrounded by Yerba Mate trees and tea gardens, the southernmost of the whole world. Felt in love and started building what today we can call: Southmatea”
