When the Portuguese and Spanish settlers traveled to South America, they adopted the customs of the natives and drank Yerba Mate. Mate is not a true tea but rather an herbal infusion. This hot beverage is steeped in a fashion similar to steeping tea. The health benefits of this herbal infusion are enhanced physical endurance and improved focus. Yerba Mate is a beverage commonly consumed at breakfast time or in the afternoon. Not only is this beverage the national drink of Argentina, but it is also consumed as a common social practice in Brazil, Bolivia, and Chile.
If you are not an avid tea drinker and tend to prefer herbal infusions, try a cup of Yerba Mate.
