Swimming Pools of Yerba Mate

I've been listening to Kendrick Lamar's new album, "Good kid, m.A.A.d city" non-stop for the past few days, and realized that it only made sense for me to mix my love for that album with my love for Mate. This video features his song, "Swimming pools."

Thanks for watching!

Hi. I just wanted to say that you and your brother have amazing videos. You both seem very genuine persons and its great that you are spreading the love via mate. I just started drinking mate myself on Wednesday and I'm already in love with the stuff. It's fun to make and it manages to uplift my mood and calm my nerves. I'm looking forward to see how much more its going to improve my life and I'm definitely going to spread the word about mate since in Finland mate drinkers are very rare.

Hi Henrik!

Thank you for your kind words, my friend :) I'm happy to hear that you've started to drink Mate, and that you're feeling the positive effects of it! I'd love to hear more about your Mate journey, and the state of Mate in Finland. Shoot me an email: mateovermatter@gmail.com P.S. I'd love to drink a gourd with you in Finland!

Hello! I've been watching most of your videos and you seem to be fascinated by mate and let me tell that there's nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, that thing you said about mate breaking social boundaries (correct me if that's not what I heard) is absolutely true. Almost everybody here in Argentina drinks mate, despite their social status. Greetings from Argentina.

Hi Victor!

Thank you for your comment, and for watching my Mate vids :) I appreciate it! Yupp, I definitely said it breaks down social boundaries, and I'm honored to have your firsthand experience with it in a place where so many people drink it everyday! Drink on, and I hope to connect with you even more in the future!

Thank you, sir! Keep doing what you're doing. Keep filming these videos, which are extremelly fun to watch and introducing your friends, relatives, etc to Yerba Mate. Also, I sent you a friend request on Facebook since I thought that way I'd be able to watch those wonderful pictures of Nepal. However, later I saw that I didn't need to send you one to see them. Hope you understand that I did it by mistake. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos mate! Bye.

Ha, I love making new friends in all capacities! Glad to be connected with you via YouTube, Facebook, & Mate! Thank you for your words of encouragement, they really mean a lot to me and push me to do what I love even more! Victor, my new friend, be well!

And it would be great to join one of your mate circles someday , if you one-day find yourself in Finland :D. You never know but until then drink on and pass the gourd. Salud!

Hey Tomas!

I'm happy to be connecting with another daily Mate drinker such as yourself :) Just because someone drinks Mate, doesn't mean that they'll share the same views as others who drink it, and that's fine. Different opinions are what make the world go round!

However, I have seen an immense change in my life from drinking Mate, and I have also seen how it can bring people together. So, it's not exactly the Mate that I have fallen in love with, but instead, the lifestyle. Drink on! :)

For the love of Chtulhu!!

As a daily mate drinker i really have to tell you that you are over reacting about this!!! IT's MATE!!! WE ALL DRINK IT IN SOME COUNTRIES but it's just MATE!. Falling in love with mate like you have is like falling in love with tea... or coffee
