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”
