Re: What is maté ?

Actually, in portuguese it's called mate (mah-tee, with emphasis on the mah). Regards to the cancer info, the biggest issue is because of drinking it very hot, it's more common the presence of esophagean cancer on people from south (who regularly drink the tea), because it's drunk very hot.

Personally, i DESPISE mate tea because to me it tastes like grass.
