„In Latin America a popular drink is la yerba mate, or el mate, a tea brewed from the dried leaves of a native holly tree. In Argentina los gauchos, the cowboys of the high plains, reputedly drink mate throughout the day to maintain their strength. However you don't have to travel to the Andes to find it - the refreshing drink is available in most cafés and street corner bars.“

„The tea brewed from the dried leaves of this plant has been drunk in China probably for thousands of years and certainly since the 10th century BC, from which time written records of its use survive. After the introduction of tea in 1657, Britain became the only European country of tea drinkers rather than coffee drinkers. In recent years, however, coffee has gained in popularity, challenging tea's status.“
