Mate 🧉🌿

But wait, is it a dr*g?

No! the mate is not a dr*g but the best company you will have. Yerba mate, whose scientific name is Ilex Paraguariensis , is a tree native to the Paranaense rainforest, which in the wild can reach a height of 12 to 16 meters. To facilitate its harvest, the plants are pruned up to twice a year to an average height of 2 meters. In Argentina 🇦🇷, we call mate to the infusion that is prepared with its leaves, as well as to the container where it is drunk, being the most used the pumpkin one. "Mate" is not only drunk in Argentina but also in several parts of South America such as Uruguay🇺🇾, Paraguay🇵🇾, some parts of Chile 🇨🇱 and Brazil🇧🇷 where its name is Chimarrão.

It is the companionship made moment. It is the modesty of the one who brews the best mate. It is the generosity of giving until the end. It is the hospitality of the invitation. It is the justice of one for one. It is the obligation to say "thank you" at least once a day. It is the ethical, frank and loyal attitude of meeting, with no greater pretensions than sharing.
