About the tea
This national beverage with caffeine originally comes from Paraguay, southern Brazil and Argentina. Slightly smoky, spicy and tangy with mellow notes of fruits, its flavour reminds of a strong green tea. The tea comes from the green leaves of a type of holly. Therefore, in South America, Mate tea is also called “Beverage of the Gods” or the “Green Gold of the Indios”.
