YERBA MATE, THE TEA OF SOUTH AMERICA. Description of This Wonderful Weed or ShrujgSo Extentively Used on the Continei “Toma usted mate?” (Will you take some tea?) is the customary welcome extended to the weary traveler in the rural ‘districts of Paraguay, and if the traveler is something of a diplomatist he will. And that, tco, even if the host does take the first sip from the bom- billa through which it is sucked from the mate, or gourd, in which it is pre- pared, and which is then passed over to him; for mate is the drink and pledge of hospitality all over the country dis- tricts of Paraguay, portions of south- ern Brazil and northern Argentina. To refuse the hospitable offer is to give Special Attention to Every Detail. Telephone Connection. e —— In the habit of urging the invitation I+ a little gun-play, as is said to have been the custom among our cowboys and heroes of the west some years ago m_l tenderfoot refused to “have a I, the stranger takea sip or two if he wishes to be- come “persona grata,” even if the bom- billa has been moistened by other lips than his, and the “tea” is somewhat bitter and herby in taste. He will get used to it. ‘This peculiar tea is not the tea of China or Japan that the average North American or European knows. It is a brand that is distinctively South American, and is made from the leaves ©of a shrub whose botannical name is llex Paraguayensis. In a pamphlet on Paraguay recently published by the Pan-y.merican Union, Washington, D. C., may be found a detailed description of this wonderful weed or shrub, among other statements being the fol- lowing: Yerba mate is altogether 1 to a well defined area of South Amer- ica. The aboriginal Indians of the basin of the Rio de la Plata, the Guarani, knew and used the plant long before the invasion of their country by the Spaniards. When these Wwere subdued, especially by the Jesuit missionaries, they were found to be using a drink made of a plant that grew wild and abundant over the sub- by the Guarani. Caa means simply weed, and the Europeans, translating literally, called it yerba, equivalent to the English herb. Mate is Spanish for gourd. Hence yerba mate—the gourd weed (or herb), or, more extend- ed, the herb from which tea is made in a gourd, for it was, and is g-tlen now, prepared as follows: A gourd is hollowed out, leaving an ape: ture where the stem was connected; into this gourd & small quantity o fthe crushed leaves are placed, boiling wa- ter poured on them, a little sugar or lemon juice added, and the tea is ready to be sucked through the aperture by means of the hollow tube, called bom- billa, usually made of metal and hav- ing a perforated, spoon-shaped end which serves as strainer. The Ilex Paraguayensis is really a South American holly, growing spon- taneously in the southern portions of Brazil, in the northeastern region of Argentina, and in all the eastern and central portions of Paraguay. It is an evergreen tree or shrub which grows from 12 to 20 feet in height, is very bushy and beautiful and resem- bles an orange tree. It has no:spines, the leaves are bright green, the small flowers are of a yellowish color, and the tiny berries are purplish black. The most suitable leaves for the tea are small and dark green, and are picked from the smaller and younger plants. In gathering, the natives go out and cut the branches from the trees found in the forests and pile them up in the form af a haystack. After all avallable material has been gathered the piles are then carried to their villages, where they undergo a process of torrefaction, or smoking, for about three days, and the leaves are then broken up into powder and are ready for the market. Paraguayan tea resembles our tea and coffee in that the chemical analysis of the leaves shows that they contain, in addition to the essential oils, chlo- rophyl, resins, and other vegetable in- gredients, both tanin and caffein. The tanin content is decidedly less than in green or black tea, or in coffee. Of caffein, or inateln, as it is sometimes termed, the product contains less than does tea, but about the same proportion that is to be found in coffee. The de- coction seems to soothe the nervous system without the injurious effects of other stimulants, and it has been esti- mated that there are mo less than 10,- 000,000 mate drinkers in South Amer- ica alone. In recent years considerable quantities are being exported to Great Britain, Germany and other European countries, and experiments are being made with the view of using it in the army supplies of those countries. Once introduced into this country, and given a fair trial, it will doudtless become a popular beverage and soon be on tap in“our soda fountains. are makl an excellent showing.
