Legend has it that Maté was a gift from the Gods. It is the hot drink of choice in South America, where its invigorating effects and herbal, grassy notes are enjoyed by sipping from a hollow gourd (cuia) through a filtered straw (bombihla).
Preparation: 11 g Maté tea (6 level Teelamass) to 1 liter filtered or soft, hot water. Allow to brew 5 – 10 min.
