But what is Mate?
Mate is a South American beverage, extremely popular in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. To understand its current importance, it's important to understand its history.
Mate consumption dates back to the Guaraní people (native indigenous people who lived in some South American countries), as confirmed by research by essayist and journalist Amaro Villanueva. They chewed the leaves directly or placed them in a gourd with water and sipped. In fact, the word "mate" comes from the Guaraní word "Caa-mate" ("Caa" means plant or herb, and "mate" refers to the gourd they drank it from). Other peoples, such as the Incas, the Charrúas, and even the Araucanians, adopted mate through bartering with the Guaraní. For the indigenous people, the mate tree was a sacred gift from the gods, and in fact, mate had a special, spiritual significance for them, in addition to its nutritional value.
Tanto el mate como el café son bebidas con cafeína y ambos están entre las infusiones más consumidas del mundo; sin embargo en países como Argentina el consumo de mate sigue superando el consumo de café, según datos del Instituto Nacional de Yerba Mate.
