Yerba Maté (ilex paraguariensis) was born in South America and is produced in Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay. It is also called "Jesuits tea". Rich in caffeine, it is very tonifying but, when prepared in a calabash gourd (an emptied and dried fruit, also named "mate"), the tonic effect is somewhat softened, as water is poured several times in a row on the same leaves.
