You sure must’ve heard of an Argentinian drink that could replace coffee or tea, and now you are in the right place! This drink is, of course, Yerba Mate. It is a drink that has been around for centuries. An experience among families and friends in South America, exactly in countries like Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Southern Brazil. Mate is traditionally consumed with a mate, a bombilla (filtered metal or bamboo straw), and hot water. This beverage is a legacy of the Guarani people. Native to present-day Paraguay, the Guaraní people first discovered and consumed this drink from the plant, drinking it hot or cold from the nearest river.
