Back to the roots... or leaves and stems... whatever

So, I have been waking up and going to bed earlier and earlier for some weird reason. Maybe I am slipping into my EST time zone. To stay somewhat operational I have resorted to drinking Yerba Mate. Which is this awesome but bitter Argentinian drink made from the stems and leaves of some sort of plant. A good substitute for coffee, since I am way sensitive to that delicious but makes me jittery like mad drink. :)
I am hooked to mate. On the plus side, mate is supposed to lower your blood pressure and has a higher amount of antioxidants when compared to tea.
