Yerba mate is really good. Unfortunately it's not commonly accessible. I wouldn't be surprised though, considering that Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile are the only countries where it's common.

Really? I live in Winnipeg, Canada, and it's pretty much everywhere here. There are bags of it in health stores, granolahead-oriented restaurants, and various other surprising places.
You can buy it at almost every "hippie" grocery store I've ever been to. (but the loose variety if you can get it).
Beyond that, you can order it from ma-tea.com (this is where I bought it up until a few yeras ago when it became popular enough to start appearing in grocery stores).
