Yerba mate
Pronounced [YER-bah MAH-teh] (or [SHER-bah MAH-teh] in Rioplatense Spanish).
Also known as Ilex paraguariensis, a holly plant natively grown in South America, particularly in Northern Argentina, Paraguay and Southern Brazil (the term erva mate is used there more often).
Yerba mate is used to make a beverage known as mate in Spanish, or chimarrão in Portuguese.
Often, the term yerba mate is used to describe not only a plant, but also a final product of grinding, drying and aging the plant.
