What is Mate?

It is an infusion of yerba mate that becomes hot and has many beneficial properties for health. Its origin goes back to the indigenous peoples that populated South America, and it is a tradition that is also very ingrained in countries like Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, but also in areas of Brazil, and Chile. It is drunk in different ways, depending on the region, and its consumption is expanding all over the world. Syria and Lebanon, for example, have been major consumers since the 1970s, as a result of migratory waves that have taken mate to the most remote corners.
