Yerba Mate Tea: the History of its Early Discovery in Paraguay, its Preparation in that Country and in Brazil, and its Introduction into the United States (rare book)

This 1900 pamphlet, “Yerba Mate Tea: The History of Its Early Discovery in Paraguay,” enthusiastically promotes yerba mate tea to American consumers. The text details the tea’s origins in Paraguay, its traditional preparation and consumption methods using the cuya and bombilla, and its introduction to the United States via the International Commercial Congress. A central theme is the health benefits of yerba mate, supported by analyses from the Philadelphia Commercial Museum and testimonials from South American delegates and medical professionals, emphasizing its purported invigorating effects and lack of negative side effects. Ultimately, the pamphlet aims to establish a market for yerba mate in the US by highlighting its unique qualities and promoting the Yerba Mate Tea Company as the sole importer.
