Yerba mate is a beverage produced from the processed leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant, a type of holly. The leaves must be fully dried, because they are poisonous before being dried. The leaves are then sometimes aged and/or roasted, although they can be also consumed green.

The leaves are then brewed much like tea or coffee, by steeping in hot water. Traditionally, yerba mate is served in a hollowed gourd, which is passed around, but it can be consumed Western-style, like normal tea or coffee.
