Sapiens Global presents at FHA2023, as part of the Brazilian Pavilion.
This year we introduced the yerba mate produced and trade by Yerba Mate Parana, a company from Curitiba, Brazil. Another new partner is Baggio Café, a company created in Brazil in 1886 by Italian immigrants. Returning to Singapore with Sapiens Global, the Brazilian cocoa spirit Cacahuatl presented its quality product in 60ml and 750ml bottles.
Abu Dhabi, December 2022
Sapiens Global was among the twenty Brazilian companies at the “Brasil Pavilion”, located at Hall 7, 7-A10, invited by MAPA – The Ministry Of Agriculture, Livestock And Supply. Our team in Abu Dhabi introduced four lines of products, representing our Brazilian partners from Parana , Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo States.
After 30 months, we are back to a presencial exhibition. Sapiens Global was proud to divide the Brazilian Pavilion in Singapore with a group of companies, showing our best in Food & Beverage from Brazil.
The Ilex Paraguariensis tree ( yerba mate tree) produces a nutrient rich leaf which has been heavily cultivated in Brazil and Argentina since the late 1800’s. For the local markets, the fresh leaves get dried, chopped up, matured, packaged and sold in shops and supermarkets in massive quantities as a kind of loose tea. About 30 years ago, beverages companies started to sell Mate as a refreshing drink, in a soluble form to add water or prepared in bottles, plastic cups or cans.
Mateex, a young company from the South
Region of Brazil and one of Sapiens Global’s partner in Food & Beverage industry, provided samples of the Mate Tea (or Yerba Mate) for our visitors. Beverage produced with the dry extract obtained from the leaves of the mate tree, during the tasting sessions at our booth, gave the visitors the real sensation of this amazing product.
Mate Tea can be consumed in different ways, according to the target public. It can work with consumers looking for
a healthy and fitness product. As
Yerba Mate can be potentially used for treating diabetes and obesity, the concentration used as a refreshment can affects food intake, resulting in higher energy expenditure, likely as a result of higher basal metabolism.
