Want personal alertness and the ability to remain focused on your task. European explorers first learned of Yerba Mate in 1592 from the native tribes. Today, the pounded leaves known as "Yerva mate" to those who now live in the lands of the Guarani, are used to brew a rich, stimulating tea, held to be synonymous with health, vitality and long life. They get together to refresh themselves around a fire, socializing and passing around the "mate," as the gourd is called, so you can have a drink of the Yerba Mate. The ancient custom of drinking the pounded Yerba Mate herb in a gourd still survives and is a day to day habit among the people that now inhabit these lands. The Tradition of mateando, early morning of southern South America, the people gets up, yawns and stretches…then put a kettle of water on to heat and prepares his gourd with Yerba Mate, carefully following the traditional steps established by his indigenous ancestors, when the water is hot enough, fills the gourd with hot water.
