The Yerba Matte tree, which in Latin is called LLex Paraguariensis, is a tree with green leaves all year round, native to the mountains of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. Although this product is widely exported to the world, most of it is consumed locally in these countries. It is common for those who have visited these lands to meet people sharing the Mate in parks or on a beach day.
Yerba Mate from South America is almost always consumed as a hot drink. Yerba Mate is known as "the drink of the gods," by many indigenous people in South America who have been drinking it for centuries. The Jesuit missionaries were responsible for seeing its economic potential, making it popular in the world and commercializing it, creating the first Yerba Mate plantations in the 1600s.
By 1770 this drink was so popular throughout the continent that it was served in most homes throughout the day. Traditionally it is taken from a container called "mate" and a straw called "bombilla". A custom that continues to this day.
