YERBA MATE.
A Brnzin an Substitute For Coffee
Which Is Now Being Exported

81 1TAL1N An SuDSOItuIE SOne0
Which Is Now Being Exported.
1erba mate is a tea prepared from
the roasted and pulveriZed leaves Of
the Hex paraguayensis, an evergreen
forest tree found in southern Brazil
and the neighboring region. The leaves
are fc';nd in the forests, either on iso-
lated trees of considerable loftiness or,
more rarely. on trees in small groves.
Isolated specimens have been grown,
and the plant can no doubt be cultivat-
ed under proper conditions. 1t is not
enough is found wild.
1erba mate is largely consumed in
Paraguay and in the Brazilian states,
where it is made. 1t is very extensive
ly consumed in Argentina, in Uru-
quay and to less extent in Chile.
There is a small consumption in other
states Of Brazil, very small quantity
Is exported to Europe and still less to
the United States and Canada. Esti-
mated exports may reach $4,000 to 81
600 tons annualG, says l.. II. Ayme,
United States consul at Para, Brazil.
The harvesting and preparation of
yerba mate are as follows: The long
outer branches of the tree are cut Off, :,
and these branches are passed rapidly
through the flames of a great fire. This
passing through the flame Wits and
toughens the leaves. A rack or loose
platform of interlaced branches about
two feet high is constructed Under
this a slow fire is kept burning, and
upon it are spread the wiltcd branches
Of mate, tied up, sometimes in small
bundles. The smoking and drying Of
the leaves to bring out the full aroma
require considerable skill When the
leaves are perfectly dry they are clean
ed from sticks and dust and beaten or
ground into powder. The coarseness
or fineness of this powder varies in the
different markets. The manufacture is
carried on in factories established in
the towns.
Yerba mate has peculiar bitter,
smoky taste, which is usually consider
ed unpleasant, and this has largely op-
Grated to prevent its more extensive
use as a beverage. This smoky bitter
ness is chiefly due to the rude method
employed for drying the leaves, and it
seems likely that improved methods Of
drying the mate on iron or copper
pans would give much more delicate
and agreeable product. Mate is said
to have all Of the best qualities Of cof-
fee and tea as a stimulating health
beverage without the disadvantages Of
