Mate or Yerba Mate originates from South America where, in many countries, it is the national drink (Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, southern Brazil...). It comes from a kind of holly (Ilex paraguariensis). It was already cultivated by the Guarani and the Tupi in southern Brazil before the arrival of the settlers.
