Join us for a drink of yerba mate.
What is Yerba Mate?
Mate (pronounced ma-teh) is a caffeinated drink made of leaves and stems of Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) and usually, hot water. It has been consumed in South America for centuries, and today it is still highly popular in countries such as Argentina, parts of Chile, South of Brazil (where mate is known as chimarrão), Paraguay and Uruguay.
Mate cups come in all shape, sizes, and materials: from bone to silicone, wood to ceramic, glass, metal and gourd.
As a yerba mate newbie, you may find your first mate a little intimidating. From what style of mate to make, what yerba to buy, what bombilla and mate to use, and how to prepare it, there’s a lot to think about.
Scientific research has proven that it helps stimulate mental activity, reducing tiredness. It also helps reduce weight and fat.
