I'm going to try this today. I bought it from Taste of Nature in Dunedin and it was surprisingly cheap - way less than the equivalent packet of coffee. I don't have the gourd and straw that I'd use if i was a trendy bloke or an Argentinian, but I'll make do.
If you've an interest in the plant from which the product is made, the information on the packet should answer your need:
La Yerba Mate es un arbol nativo del bosque subtropical de Sud America, pertenece a la familia de las aquifoliaceas y se obtiene a partir de las hojas de la Ilex Paraguariensis.

Yerba mate is a native subtropical woodland tree in South America, belonging to the Aquifoliaceae family. Yerba mate is a product of the leaves of the Ilex Paraguariensis.
My Spanish is a bit rusty but I'd give a similar translation to Robert's: Yerba mate is a native tree from the sub-tropical forest of South America, belonging to the Aquifoliacea family and one gets it from the leaves of the Ilex Paraguariensis.
I've got a metal straw but our gourd was given to an Argentinean visitor who was ing reater need of it than we were.
I reckon mate is a bit like vegemite - you have to be born in a country which uses it or you'll never like it.
Thanks for that u 2. When I brew my first (tomorrow - today's events overwhelmed me) I might need to check with you that I've followed the instructions correctly. If it tastes like marmite, I'll be passing it on. I'm not a fan of the black yeast extract.
