Mate gourd with bombilla BLACK

Yerba mate is a traditional South American beverage made from the dried leaves and stems of the Ilex paraguariensis plant. Known for its earthy and slightly bitter flavor, yerba mate is rich in caffeine, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It is typically consumed by steeping the leaves in hot water and drinking through a metal straw (bombilla) from a gourd (mate). Celebrated for its energizing effects and numerous health benefits, yerba mate is a cultural staple in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil.
