Yerba maté originates from South America and is prepared from the leaves of the Paraguayan holly tree, a tree that requires quite specific conditions (altitude 500-1000 metres, high humidity and a temperature of 16-28 °C). On its home continent, this species of holly is found mainly in southern Brazil and the northern regions of Argentina and Paraguay.
Yerba mate offers us the following as a beverage:
- strong antioxidant properties;
- increased energy levels and improved concentration (due to its caffeine content);
