Seriously. 20 steepings.
Yerba Mate is a great coffee replacement for the non-caffeinated stimulant reason but it also provides a good amount of nutrients and an appetite suppressant. It became a daily part of the peoples diets because it was a less expensive way of feeling full, getting nutrients, and being able to work.
You would have to drink a ton of any beverage at a high temperature to be worried. Even my 4 Liters of tea is not dangerous because very little of it is actually consumed at 208 degrees. Smaller gourds, 3/4 packed with Mate, being refilled regularly means that they are drinking more hot liquid then we are.

We don't use gourd to drink it.
We steep it like normal tea leaves.
