Top Leaf Mate' Bar Bend, Oregon "The history of Mate'"

Santiago Casanueva, founder of the Top Leaf Mate' Bar in Bend, Oregon tells us about the history of Mate' and its power as used throughout history.

The Gauchos:
"They've been called the wanderers of the Pampas. Gauchos have been known to wander the countryside as early as the 1600's, time in which the 'flatlands' were overpopulated by 'cimarron' cattle, brought to South America by Pedro de Mendoza in 1538.

At that time and through many centuries, cow leather was one of most traded goods between the old world and the colonies. The main importance of cattle was not the meat but the leather obtained from it."
