Yerba mate (E-erba Mah-tay) is a rare herbal tea that’s one of the few plants that naturally produce caffeine. Both the tree and the drink originated in certain sub-tropical regions of South America, where it grows exclusively. Yerba mate has existed for centuries in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil. Today, Argentina is the world's largest
Yerba mate is often served for breakfast with medialunas (Argentinian croissants) or as a mid-afternoon pick me up. Although the drink can purchased ready-made online or in easy-to use tea bags, the best and most interesting way to have it is steeped in a mate (hollowed-out gourd) and drunk through a bombilla (filtered straw). In addition being being great hot, it also makes a delicious iced tea, especially flavored with fruit.
