Question

'Paraguay tea' is obtained from
A. Leaves of Ilex
B. Seeds of Paullinia
C. Leaves of Caltha
D. Leaves of Erythroxylum

Answer 1

Hint:Paraguayan tea has antioxidants, minerals, and the ability to treat chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Yerba mat has, like many teas, polyphenols to help combat diseases, energy-enhancing xanthines, and saponins to protect the health of the heart.

Complete answer:
Ilex Paraguayans are the botanical name of Paraguay tee.
This big white-flowered straw cultivates wildly in close proximity to streams but is mainly grown in South America to drink from the leaves. It uses all the leaves. Tea from Camellia sinensis' leaves is derived from the Theaceae family. The leaves are wide, oval, or large and widely dented. The fruit is red, pepper grain-sized drupe. Its name 'yerba' means herb by excellence, and in South America, the consumption is high because it is drunk every meal and every hour. 'Mat' is the vessel name in which tea, burnt sugar, or lemon juice are applied. 'Mats' is derived from the name of the vessel. The tube, usually made of silver, is sucked through with a bulb strainer at the end and the cup is rounded over.
It is called 'cha mat' when the powder is placed into water and stirred.
Comparisons with green tea are popular because of the high level of yerba mate antioxidants (one commercial yerba mate blend claims to contain 90 percent more antioxidants than green tea).

Hence, the correct answer is option A- Leaves of Ilex.

Note:
People assert that maté is far superior to tea, coffee, or cocoa in its invigorating forces and that it suits one for both mental and physical work. By pouring boiling water on the leaves, it is prepared, as is tea, and it should be drinking immediately or sucked through a metal tube, the preferred method being the latter. The calming effect of 3 or 4 ounces will continue for as many hours as possible. Soon the bitter taste is accepted and even appreciated. Compared to tea or coffee, the minimal amount of caffeine is quite remarkable; less than half the amount in tea and the absence of volatile oils that often disagree with digestion is another point in its favor.
