Originating from the heartlands of Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, this revered brew traces back to the ancient Guarani people who believed it to be the "drink of the gods."
With time, the tradition of drinking Yerba Mate transcended indigenous circles, making its way into urban salons and eventually across borders, enamoring individuals far and wide with its unique taste and communal drinking culture.
