HERB BREW LIKED - IN'SOUTH AMERICA #Maté” Is Name Given Na- tive Drink Because Gourd Is Used as Cup. Ever taste maté? “Trade in maté, the ‘tea’ of South America, which is little known outside that continent, commanded the at- tention of makers of a recent Argentine tariff law,” says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society. 8] students, unfamiliar with the brew of more than ten-million South Americans, might be perplexed by its name, for maté is the Spanish word for gourd. “When the Spaniards pushed their way into South America a few centu- ries ago they found mate a popular beverage among the Indians. The visitors also_cultivated a taste for the brew. The Indian name for the leaves from which the beverage was made was ‘splendid herb’ The Spaniards called them yerba (Spanish for herb). The yerba was brewed in a gourd, hence the name yerba maté. “When its consumers sought to short- en the name they chose the latter half, and today even the encyclopedias and dictionaries define maté as the brew of leaves of a member of the holly tree family in South America. Called “Jesuit Tea.” “Parsguay tea and Jesuit tea are two names of the beverage which are often heard by visitors to South America; Paraguay tea, because the yerba tree grows wild in a large part ©of the country, and Jesuit tea because the Jesuits first cultivated the tree. “Maté has opened up portions of South America that were almost un- known to civilization, because maté companies employ men on long-term contracts to penetrate the interior of the continent. These company settle- ments often are the only habitations for miles along the Paraguayan, Brazilian and Argentine rivers. Here and there the jungle has bowed to the axes of maté collectors. A warehouse is constructed on the water's edge and small thatched houses dot a small e!nfln&heymd. “It yerba trees are found nearby, the curing process for yerba leaves is done at headquarters, and the camp is an animated area. But often the collec- tors trek to remote regions and the riverside camp may be deserted for six months at a time. When the ‘field’ workers find a considerable area of yerba trees they build a thatched shack and form searching :rflu. A few of the group remain to build a curing platform. Gourd Is Maté “Cup.” “A plot of ground is pounded hard th & mallet and a platform built above it. Meanwhile collectors, axes in hand, hew the branches of glossy leaves of the yerba trees, which grow from 12 10 30 feet in height, and bring them to camp. Paths in the remote yerba forests are too narrow for vehicles. Now and then burros are pressed into rervice, but more frequently the collec- tors carry own loads. With a huge ball of yerba leaves hiding a col- lector's head and shoulders, he re- sembles a walking umbrella tree. “The leaves are deposited on the plat- form and a fire built underneath.
