Default Calories in herba mate

<http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%2Bcalories+%2B%22Mate+chino%22&btnG=Search>

Google is your friend, and this url gives the regular maté profile.

The best way to find out about the flavored versions is to call the
company directly or having a friend who is diabetic call the company to
ask for the sugar and calorie contents.

BTW, the majorority of this group seem to adhere to the most restricted
definition of tea, whereas the English view of leaves infused in water
is more apt to describe my approach. Although I dislike the bergamots
and fermented teas except as trace tastes in my own blends, I do
constantly experiment with tisanes as part of the culinary, health and
herbalist hobbies.

s have been around for at leat 2,000 years in constant use and maybe
longer, mountain sage tea from Greece predates the Egyptian Empire as
just a couple of examples.
