Yerba Mate

One of my favorite beverages-Yerba Mate. It's the national drink of Argentina and Uruguay. ‘Yerba’ means herb and ‘mate’ is the gourd used to drink yerba mate. So the drink literally means ‘herb in a cup’. It tastes like strong, earthy, bitter green tea (very addictive flavor!) (As being a coffee addict, yerba mate is a healthy and satisfying alternative for me;)
