The popular drink Yerba Mate when famous players
From Messi, Neymar, Suarez to Pogba, Griezmann. You have seen everyone drink this drink from a small pot. Yerba Mate is becoming the favorite drink of footballers of the world day by day. But what is this Yerba Mate?
Before the arrival of the Spaniards in South America, it was the most widely used drink among the Aborigines. The Guarani and Tupi tribes used it as herbal medicine. After forming the Spanish colony in South America, it gradually spread to Europe. But at the same time, the arrival of tea from China stopped the triumph of Yerba Mate. The main reason behind this is the availability of tea and the easy preparation method.
The largest producers of yerba mat are Brazil, and buyers are Uruguay. As a result, it is vital in remote areas of South America. Yerba Mate is drunk there as a drink at three o’clock. And the best three stars of the present time, Messi-Neymar-Suarez, are the residents of that area. Yerba Mate is becoming popular in Europe again with their hands.
