INYM recognizes the fact that like the people in Argentina, households in India have immense love for Tea and endorses the therapeutic effects of the Yerba Mate Tea, also dubbed as the drink of the ‘Guarani natives.
Describing the beneficial qualities of Yerba Mate, Jerónimo Lagier, Director, INYM said, “With a higher count of antioxidants, it is a greener version of the healthy Green Tea, which increases one’s immunity and also satisfies the taste buds – with the Indian blends such as Ginger, Cardamom, Tulsi, Ginger, Honey and Green Tea. Our purpose in India is to cement our relationship through this drink as we know that India also consists of a large demographic of tea drinkers.”
