About this Botanical:
Depending on how mate was served, it was called by various names. Without sugar it was called mate cimarrón. Brewed cold it was known as mate tereré and with milk and sugar mate misqui.
Today the popularity of drinking mate continues to grow, especially in North America. As it does, the number of varieties available on international markets likewise increases - this unfermented green mate Cancheada is a fabulous example. The cup is raw, with slightly bitter overtones and imparts a world of history with each sip.
