The drink of choice after a night of hard partying in Buenos Aires is Yerba Mate. This green tea-like beverage, drunk through a metal straw, is the national drink of Argentina and it's making waves in Europe and the US. In this pod, vc2 producer Ginger Gentile takes us from the streets of Buenos Aires to the jungles and yerba plantations of Missiones where the Yerba Mate is grown.

  • it's kinda weird that a south american chemical engineer does not know that mateine, or "matiena", is the same chemical as caffeine...

  • In the US you should try our matefactor brand mate. It's the good stuff. search for mate factor.

  • @michetox mate IS a stimulant drink. we argentinians use it the same way in other countries it is used tea of coffe, only that mate has also a social function: you gather with your friends to drink mate. And you're right, actually we drink coffe after a night of "hard partying"...

  • They put this stuff in Sobe! that why I love sobe so much!

  • @michetox It IS a stimulant drink. Or else it wouldn't keep me awake in situations where Red Bull failed at it. And I do drink it after a night of hard partying (after a night of sleep, of course). Any bit of hangover goes away.

  • HeY! Any Argentina Girls here? Need one for making me mate every morning!

  • I work 3rd shift (in US) 11pm-7am, and I swear it makes me feel better, even when I'm super tired. I'm not nervous with it like I am with coffee.

  • Its kinda nasty at the beginning but then you love it,its like a drug its taste bad then its good lol

  • First, mate isn't a stimulant drink. Second, who drinks mate after a night of hard partying? ....

  • @nirvgardengod what about the other one6 The one with glasses?
