Yerba Maté has been a beloved tradition in South America for centuries. Originating with the Guaraní people, it was valued as a gift from the gods—bringing energy, focus, and a sense of connection to nature. They prepared the leaves in shared gourds, sipping together as a symbol of unity and strength.

When Spanish settlers arrived, they quickly adopted the custom, and the drink spread throughout Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay. Over time, mate became more than just a herbal infusion—it became a cultural ritual.
