This unique Brazilian herbal is traditionally brewed in a hollow calabash gourd, and sipped with a silver straw called a bomba. This is a very common social practice in countries such as Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. The flavor of brewed Yerba Mate is strongly vegetal, herbal, and grassy. It is similar to a green tea, but much stronger in flavor. A versatile leaf, it does not become bitter with over-steeping, making it very accessible to try for the inexperienced tea drinker... even those without a gourd.
