I'm from Michigan and can relate to drinking Mate solo. At work when I was preparing it for myself in a very non-traditional way with a big filter basket at the top of a big coffee cup, essentially making it like green tea, some cool Lebanese guys came up to me and were like 'hey you drink mate! If you want a straw we can get you one.' I drink it now in a closer to traditional method, but I use a cup instead of a gourd and still solo =(. Nice choice of wardrobe, I'm a daily listener.
My family and I are from Uruguay, we drink mate all the time. Its wonderful seeing someone who isn't from our country enjoy it, its a wonderful and healthy drink. You are adorable and so is your spanish! ;D
Thanks for sharing. I wish more would drink Mate' in my south-eastern location of the U.S. as well. I have lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil and my parents are European Portuguese which is where I get my exposure to Mate'.
ERVA-MATE, ( Ilex paraguariensis ) remains sites used in southern Brazil and neighboring countries Spanish, here in the south we even have a beer with the flavor of mate
You can found in "google-images" of the most traditional yerba mate, search: " CHIMARRÃO "
We planted a lot of coffee and many people drink coffee in Brazil, in the mornings and after dinner :)
Man! Mate and Democracy Now? If you are ever down here in California, we must get together and have some philosophical conversation over a good round of mate. By the way, excellent explanation of how to prepare a mate!
Very good! primer video que explica bien como empezar el mate, introduciendo el agua SIN la bombilla, en el "hueco". Puedo utilizar tu video en mi blog?
@ZYD29 I'm not saying drugs are bad, or mate is bad. I drink it all the time But the feeling you get when you drink it is because of chemicals it contains that alter you brain chemistry temporarily to achieved a desired effect. The definition of a drug.
@enzoac You're right, mate isn't a drug. It has no products or ingredients that alter the nervous system or elsewhere in the body. It's so natural as the juice of a fresh orange.
@rpm2004 Oh that kind of drug yeah, but it's not an ilegal drug as many people may think. It's like the chocolate, the coffe, the te, etc. But it doesn't stone you or something similar haha. That's what I wanted to mean :). As an Argentinian i like it too.
No es Mato Grosso do Sul, es Rio Grande de Sul! Y no se toma solo en el Noreste de Argentina, sino en absolutamente todo el pais! Es lo que une a dos argentinos que quieren juntarse! Nunca puede faltar el mate entre amigos o conocidos! A una reunion sin mate es como si le faltara algo!
@enzoac Che yo soy de Mato Grosso do Sul conocido en Brasil como el estado simbolo de la bebida (TERERE), por la gran influenza de Paraguay y por ser parte de la tierra guarani... Yo se lo que estoy hablando esta confundido el Terere (frio) con el MateChimarrao del sur que se usa agua caliente....
totally like this. my father is from argentina and ever since i was like 7 i drank it. then the years passed since i've drank it but now im starting to drink it more frequently.
Jajaja same problem mate... in a big city like monterrey i thing they're a few mexicans people who drinked... of course they're uruguayos and argentinos here who chares that tradition.. but is dificult to chare with someone a conversation with a good mate
@pancho133 WRONG, its a mistake. MATE is originary of THE PARAGUAY, of the GUARANIES indians and of the missions. Do you know the MENSU?? Originary of the antique PARAQUARIA, Argentina not existed 400 years ago, PARAGUAY is the FATHER of the Argentina and of the pioners argentinians. ILEX PARAGUAYENSIS=MATE. Sorry man, I demand more respect for the truth. Paraguay, braves guarani peoples land...

:) Hello from Portugal!I like to drink mate too. Here in tuga we have mate in herb shops but I want original from Argentina and today I bought my genuine mate kit from the eBay and half pound of yerba. Cant wait to taste it.
sou brasileiro e nos sabemos a melhor maneira pra tomar esta bebida dos Deuses!! tou a brincar how often do you guys change your herb, we change it depending on how often were drinkin but at least 2x's a week!!
buen video.. la yerba mate crece en el llano sudamerica que son brasil, paraguay, argentina y uruguay... en brasil y paraguay se toma frio el mate, debido al calor que hace y generalmente en paraguay y brasil casi no hay invierno y se llama terere.. tbn se toma mate pero no como en argentina y uruguay, aparte en argentina y uruguay el clima es mas templado, tendiendo al frio.. la yerba no es una droga si lo q piensa!! bueno el video.. saludos a todos..
Very cool...but I don't like mate :P...you look more argentinian than me...and a little advice to all: don't drink it too hot and with too much frecuency coz that's can cause trachea cancer (not joke)
Drinking it for a few years now. Yerba mate rocks!
I introduced it to a couple of friends too. They liked it very much, but none of them actively drinks it. At the moment I have two brands at home: Rosamonte Especial and Kraus Organica. Both are pretty good. I also tried two variations of Aguantadora, which were also pretty good.
I always import it from a large webshop in Germany and let it ship to The Netherlands.
Canarias is harvested in Brazil and processed in Uruguay. It's not Argentinan whatsoever. You should never wet the pit and if you do ... just try to keep the shape of it. I hope you all get what i'm trying to say. I am horrible at explaining things lol
By the way, AllieCaulfield ... you're cute! lol
I like the fact that you drink mate and you're not south american!
I'm Uruguayan ... what part of Uruguay did you live in?
:D where are you from? I mean, which city? ... Im spanish and I love mate, but Im living in Edmonton Canada...and nobody here Knows about mate... neither Manu Chao :(
where can I get mate in this boring city?.... any idea?.....
I live in Edmonton too. I love mate. The best place to buy is at El Safadi Brothers, 11316 134ave. Or at one of the Italian Centre Shop ether at 10878-95 Street or at 5028 104A Street.
There is also a store just south of the whitemud on 66 st. by an Esso.
P.S. do not give up on this city. There is always live music somewhere, the metro cinema always plays interesting movies. The best place to rent any movies is the Vediodrome at 8001 102 ST. Just 2 blocks south of the 7-11 on whyte ave.
@BValensi well you can go to a place named "adonis " it's lebanease store THEY HAVE PLENTY and i know that because right now im drinking matte with my mom and my sis
I like your video, but I have one correction, Yerba Canarias is Uruguayan not from Brasil as you mention. The Name of Canarias come from the place where the manufacturer is located which is the Depatment of Canelones. It is called this way for all the natives from the Canari Island that lived in the area. Cool to see other people sharing our culture.
the pit is not without yerba mate but the least amount of Yerba Mate. if you pour to fill the cup it will be too strong and it will not stay consistent.
I prefer the cold version, called tereré, it's just normal yerba mate (i brew it with a tea ball), poured over a glass filled with ice cubes. Can be mixed with lemonade and honey.
Today is my first time drinking mate,yeeeiii! I've never tasted it before and I'm sure I did it right but it's definetly an aquired taste. The first couple of sips are really hard to swallow for me. Seriously.But I'm still getting used to it. I did notice an increase of energy wich is a plus for me in addition to all the health benefits I reseached about this drink makes me not want to give up on it one bit. In fact, I'm drinking it right now so CHEERS! Btw no 1 drinks it around here either.
Thank you for sharing this! I'm from Argentina and my friend from U.S.A. wanted to know how to drink it and it was difficult for me to explain him, so this video was really helpfull, thank you again! :D
Thanks! I just got introduced to yerba mate camping last weekend and I am already addicted!! :-) Ordered my gourd and been trying to figure out how to make the mate correctly... Fantastic instruction video... thanks for your help!
Yea. Great video! Too bad some people are so shallow that when they see something green and a lot of it their first thought is: DRUGS!!!
I nearly got fired from work when a co worker spotted me drinking yerba he ran stright to the boss and told him everything:) You don't know how hard was it to explain myself...
Yerba mate is great though! Don't care about the suspicious looks and drink it!
Costumbre argentina? si uds toman el mate con yerba mezclada con yuyos,se sirven de la caldera(pava).Lavan toda la yerba del comienzo y le hechan azúcar.Esta es la tradición de nosotros.Anda a Uruguay y fijate la cantidad de jente que anda con un termo abajo del brazo y chupando mate todo el dia.Después me decis.
viejo no generalices, soy argentino y tomo mate como corresponde, ademas con lo de los yuyos ¿que hacen con la de serena seleccion de de canarias? esa es mezclada y tambien la toman ustedes. yo no tomo mezclada. ademas si nos acercamos a las tradiciones vos te crees que el gaucho uruguayo tomaba en termo? la pava es lo autoctono y no esta mal. ahora, los guaranies donde estaban? en uruguay o en argentina?, los charruas tomaban mate y por eso la tradicion es de ustedes? .
@tano85volistw Los indígenas guaranies habitaban lo que es hoy Paraguay, hacían incursiones a lo largo del paraná, lo que es hoy argentina, y lo que es hoy uruguay, y parte de Bolivia. El mate se dío a conocer por los jesuitas, siendo originario del Paraguay, donde se nucleaban los indigenas guaranies.
@tano85volistw diculpame ahora decime vos argentino decime quien le robo las tierras a uruguay?¿?¿?¿?
te contesto argentina y brasil. entonces no me digas de donde eran los charruas. como siempre nos quieren sacar todo como gardel jajajaja pero lamentablemente es uruguayo usd lo que inventaron son los robos los secuestros y como matar a la pobre gente laburadora. y se que en argentina tienen mas confianza en un uruguayo que en un propio argentino ni uds se tienen confianza.
I feel very happy that people from northamerica thinks of teh south, I mean, till now I thought they see us as some kind of monkey-people living in the jungle, but you, drinking Mate, is... It makes me soo happy to see poeple intrested in our culture :'-)
Great vid! I just got back from BA and a little boat trip to Uruguay and was fascinated with mate. So I bought one. I made it last night after getting back and really didn't know what I was doing. This vid should put me in the right direction.
I first drank this in a very special region of Brazil. It was served cold (terere) in a cowhorn and I drank it after horseback riding with some cowboys (Pantaneiras). I've tried to make this at home with the cowhorn I bought, which doesn't really allow me to "create the mountain". Is it supposed to be quite gritty?
I've had terere in a cowhorn and it's still possible to create the mountain. I have never really had a problem with a gritty taste, but it could be due to a number of factors: the type yerba, some have twigs, the amount of yerba controls how bitter the taste, and a broken bombilla - not properly filtering the mate. For me the first drink always tastes a little gritty but that should go away. Also if you prepare incorrectly.
Tambien hay otra variante para consumir yerba mate. Se llama "matecocido" y se prepara como el cafe. Se hace hervir agua en una tetera o tasa de metal (segun la cantidad de personas) y una vez hervida se le agrega yerba mate para luego colarla sobre una tasa y consumir.
Se le puede agregar poleo (una yerva silvestre) para mejorar su sabor.
my friend is from argentina and her mom always gives me some mate and i think its amazing but my friend hates it and she is argentinian. ahhaha =] i think it tastes really good i usually add some sugar to it to make it taste more sweet.
lol, you did it pretty well, many people in Argentina doesn't even know how to do it right. The best mate I have ever tried is the one that they prepare in Paraguay, it's exlent.
This is a response to "juani316" just for you. Really wich country is originally nobody knows but the first country that socialize the mate is uruguay.
I've been drinking mate for a little over a month now and absolutely love it. I'm looking for a larger mate and the one you're using looks like a nice size. Do you know of any site that sell nice mates that size?
without mate i can die perfectly on 24 hours, i am from Uruguay, Canario, on my blood is running yerba :P thanks for the video mate(amigo), i can see you are very passioned about it but you just forgot about the effect, what happens inside of the toilet after drink mate...
this drink too is prepared and very popular in Rio Grande do Sul (a state in southern Brazil) and neighboring countries such as Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and southern Chile.
may I ask what it tastes like?

I found one site, but they only have Bombilla and yerba. But there's a place downtown where you can buy Yerba.

I prefer the cold version, called tereré, it's just normal yerba mate (i brew it with a tea ball), poured over a glass filled with ice cubes. Can be mixed with lemonade and honey.

Today is my first time drinking mate,yeeeiii! I've never tasted it before and I'm sure I did it right but it's definetly an aquired taste. The first couple of sips are really hard to swallow for me. Seriously.But I'm still getting used to it. I did notice an increase of energy wich is a plus for me in addition to all the health benefits I reseached about this drink makes me not want to give up on it one bit. In fact, I'm drinking it right now so CHEERS! Btw no 1 drinks it around here either.

Yea. Great video! Too bad some people are so shallow that when they see something green and a lot of it their first thought is: DRUGS!!!
I nearly got fired from work when a co worker spotted me drinking yerba he ran stright to the boss and told him everything:) You don't know how hard was it to explain myself...
Yerba mate is great though! Don't care about the suspicious looks and drink it!

Costumbre argentina? si uds toman el mate con yerba mezclada con yuyos,se sirven de la caldera(pava).Lavan toda la yerba del comienzo y le hechan azúcar.Esta es la tradición de nosotros.Anda a Uruguay y fijate la cantidad de jente que anda con un termo abajo del brazo y chupando mate todo el dia.Después me decis.
Eltigredeuruguay 2 years ago
viejo no generalices, soy argentino y tomo mate como corresponde, ademas con lo de los yuyos ¿que hacen con la de serena seleccion de de canarias? esa es mezclada y tambien la toman ustedes. yo no tomo mezclada. ademas si nos acercamos a las tradiciones vos te crees que el gaucho uruguayo tomaba en termo? la pava es lo autoctono y no esta mal. ahora, los guaranies donde estaban? en uruguay o en argentina?, los charruas tomaban mate y por eso la tradicion es de ustedes? .

@tano85volistw Los indígenas guaranies habitaban lo que es hoy Paraguay, hacían incursiones a lo largo del paraná, lo que es hoy argentina, y lo que es hoy uruguay, y parte de Bolivia. El mate se dío a conocer por los jesuitas, siendo originario del Paraguay, donde se nucleaban los indigenas guaranies.

te contesto argentina y brasil. entonces no me digas de donde eran los charruas. como siempre nos quieren sacar todo como gardel jajajaja pero lamentablemente es uruguayo usd lo que inventaron son los robos los secuestros y como matar a la pobre gente laburadora. y se que en argentina tienen mas confianza en un uruguayo que en un propio argentino ni uds se tienen confianza.

I first drank this in a very special region of Brazil. It was served cold (terere) in a cowhorn and I drank it after horseback riding with some cowboys (Pantaneiras). I've tried to make this at home with the cowhorn I bought, which doesn't really allow me to "create the mountain". Is it supposed to be quite gritty?
cassdenata 3 years ago
I've had terere in a cowhorn and it's still possible to create the mountain. I have never really had a problem with a gritty taste, but it could be due to a number of factors: the type yerba, some have twigs, the amount of yerba controls how bitter the taste, and a broken bombilla - not properly filtering the mate. For me the first drink always tastes a little gritty but that should go away. Also if you prepare incorrectly.
AllieCaulfield 3 years ago
Tambien hay otra variante para consumir yerba mate. Se llama "matecocido" y se prepara como el cafe. Se hace hervir agua en una tetera o tasa de metal (segun la cantidad de personas) y una vez hervida se le agrega yerba mate para luego colarla sobre una tasa y consumir.
Se le puede agregar poleo (una yerva silvestre) para mejorar su sabor.

Is called of chimarrao.
