Maté - here there and everywhere

While in Argentina we had our first taste of Maté, only to discover that a friend is opening the first yerba maté cafe in Toronto, EL ALMACEN near the Lyon Huntington Group's world HQ.


"Yerba Mate has been discribed as "The drink of the Gods" by many indigenous groups in South America and "The green gold of the Indios" by the Europeans. It's been also nicknamed the "Liquid Vegetable".

This drink of friendship is an evergreen member of the holly family, an infusion brewed from the dried leaves and stems of the tree. It is consumed by millions of South Americans as a healthful drink."
