An herbal tea prepared from the evergreen shrub Ilex Paraguayensis native to South America. Mate is naturally rich in caffeine and related stimulating compounds, giving a smooth, sustained lift that many drinkers find gentler than coffee.
An herbal infusion prepared from the evergreen shrub Ilex paraguariensis, native to South America — where mate is not just a drink but a daily ritual shared from a gourd among friends. The cup is grassy, earthy and pleasantly bitter, somewhere between green tea and a fresh meadow.
Mate is famous for its smooth, sustained lift: rich in naturally stimulating compounds, it energizes without the jolt-and-crash many people get from coffee. It is the traditional fuel of gauchos and students alike.
Brew one heaping teaspoon per cup with water just off the boil (about 85°C) for 4 to 5 minutes. Drink it plain, with honey, or iced with lemon as a Brazilian-style tereré.
