Yerba mate tastes like tea, stimulates like coffee, but is technically neither. Yerba mate has a very peculiar taste – strong, slightly bitter. Traditionally, yerba mate is drunk from a special vessel and with a special metal straw with a filter at the bottom.

If you’re looking for an energy boost that espressos can’t provide, make a tea from the leaves and twigs of this South American super plant, Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), which has been used for centuries.
