Originally Green Mate was the most popular drink of the Gauchos, the South American cowboys. Mostly enjoyed outside at the campfire, it became the national drink in almost every country on he continent over the years. Produced out of the dried and crushed leaves of the Mate tree, a palm species, it is rich in vitamins and minerals. Due to the high percentage of caffeine, Mate is a very stimulating drink. It is best when brewed up with fresh water of around 176 F and steeped for about 5-10 minutes.
