Yerba Mate is a plant from the native "Ilex Paraguariensis" tree that grows exclusively deep into the southern rainforest, specifically in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Its leaves and twigs are used to make an exotic tea known as Yerba Mate.

Yerba Mate has many healthy properties, but the principal one is its high level of caffeine content, being similar to coffee depending on the way of preparation.

It has a traditional way to be prepared (in a mate gourd and "bombilla") but it can also be treated as a tea, so it can be stipped in tea bags or strainer, French press or even cold brew.Yerba Mate can be dated back to the Guaraní indigenous tribes, who used the tree leaves as a beverage to obtain energy and strength, a currency trade, and a worship object for their rituals. They believed Yerba Mate was "The tea of gods" given to sustain life, increase vitality and heal the sick.
