Special 15% off all on-line purchases until Christmas

The Cup is over for another four years and watching the All Blacks lift the cup at the end was both a relief and a cause for immense celebration! Many of our customers will have been partying it up in Party Central or enjoying it at home, but one of the cup highlights for us was following Los Pumas and the amazing Argentinian fans across the country.



There was Tango, Chorizo, yerba mate and alfajores for everybody and we really had a great time watching the games and enjoying the parties. For those Argentinians who travelled great distances to party with the bus and for all the Argentinos in New Zealand who shared a mate in the Cloud singing and celebrating the fact that Argentina will join the Southern Hemisphere 4 Nations tournament. We are looking forward to seeing a growing Pumas fan base.

To celebrate the end we are asking you to send in any photos that you have for us to add to our photo album. The top 3 photos will win a $20 voucher to spend on any of our products.

Recipes

For those who've visited us at the Food Show or Organics Expo you may like to know what the trick is for making the perfect mate latte
What you need:

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon

trim milk

• 4 tablespoons of yerba mate (sin palo) Ecoteas is the best cut in our opinion.
• 1 french press (plunger)
• trim milk or soy milk and a frothing device
• cinnamon
• sugar to sweeten (1 tablespoon of sugar for those with a sweet tooth)

Place the tea in the plunger, soak the tea lightly with cold water to avoid burning the leaves then add hot water from the jug.  Once the tea has brewed for a good 3-5 minutes poor the filtered tea into a large mug.  Froth the milk with your processor or coffee machine and add to the hot mate, stirring the sugar in gently to raise an attractive green hue to the surface of the milk.  Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the top and enjoy.  If you don't have a plunger or you have finely cut yerba mate such as Canarias (sin palo) you can try using a percolator.
