Taragüi Yerba Mate is an infusion made from leaves of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), a plant native to Paraguay and Uruguay. The leaves are dried, cut, and ground, resulting in a product with a characteristic bitter taste due to its tannins. It is attributed multiple benefits, including being digestive and detoxifying, as well as rich in antioxidants. Traditionally prepared in a container called a gourd and consumed through a straw.
