Yerba Mate is an herbal tea from Argentina (and Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay...). It tastes a bit like burnt alfalfa and is terribly addictive. I've credited it with getting me through my dissertation and probably through parts of the tenure track, it's been a part of my life for over 15 years.
At any rate, I hate feeling like I'm dependent on anything, so I decided to give it up. It's been about 30 hours now. I have a lot more compassion for people who try to stop certain habits. Yesterday was full of headaches, today is full of brain clouds.
Maybe if I had a volcano handy?
