🧉 MATE 🧉

The best argentinian infusion

Mate is probably the most consumed infusion in Argentina. It basically consists in soaking dried Yerba Mate leaves in hot water, served in a "Mate" and drank through a special metal straw. It's also consumed in other countries, such as Paraguay and Uruguay. And no, it doesn't contain any type of drug😂.

Basic elements of Mate

• 🧉 Mate: the recipient in which the infusion is drunk from. It can be made of wood, plastic, ceramics or a special dried pumpkin.
• 🧉 Yerba: it's the dried leaves. There are different brands to choose from and you can also mix it with other scented herbs, such as peppermint.
• 🧉 Bombilla: this is how the "special straw" is called. One basic tip: you NEVER try to stir the yerba with the bombilla (unless you want to be yelled at by some angry argentinian😆)

👉 Buy a Mate, Yerba or a Bombilla here!
