WHAT IS YERBA MATE?

Yerba mate is an infusion prepared from Ilex paraguariensis, a plant associated with South American drinking traditions. It is distinct from tea made from Camellia sinensis. Mate is commonly prepared in a mate vessel and drunk through a filtered metal straw called a bombilla.

At ILLUSEUM Tea Room, yerba mate is served on site in an appropriate mate vessel. Visitors can also ask about the current retail selection and preparation accessories.
