01 / THE PLANT
WHAT IS
YERBA MATE?
Yerba Mate, Ilex paraguariensis, is a plant native to South America. Its leaves are harvested and dried, then steeped in water to make the drink.
For generations, people have enjoyed mate from a gourd using a metal straw called a bombilla. BRIO takes inspiration from its distinctive flavour and naturally occurring caffeine.
