Beverage
South American

Yerba Mate Tea has a rich history dating back to the indigenous Guarani people of South America, who believed it to have medicinal and spiritual properties. This traditional tea is made from the leaves of the yerba mate plant and is a popular beverage in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Known for its earthy and slightly bitter flavor, yerba mate tea is often enjoyed socially, with friends and family passing around a gourd and sipping through a metal straw called a bombilla. Today, this beloved tea can be found in specialty tea shops and cafes around the world, offering a taste of South American culture and tradition.
