YERBA MATE --Ilex paraguariensis--

YERBA MATE --Ilex paraguariensis--

This is in the same family as our native Ilex.  Our mothers originally came from Argentina and have fruited and flowered in pots in our greenhouse.  These plants are from seeds from second generation plants that have lived in Texas their whole lives..  The traditional brew, yerba mate, is made from the dried and roasted leaves.  Highly caffeinated, it's enjoyed very hot, and sipped out of a decorated gourd.
