Suppression of the Society of Jesus
When Jesuit missionaries first came to Argentina, they tried to ban the popular indigenous tea, "yerba mate", out of concern about its addictive qualities. They ultimately reversed their stance and began cultivating "yerba mate" on plantations in the Misiones province in particular (and elsewhere in South America), until the expulsion of the religious order from the Americas in 1767 during the Suppression of the Society of Jesus.
