Mau sippin' mate in Llao Llao "sha-ow sha-ow"
We finally bowed to the social pressures and invested in our own mate tea service. Yerba Mate is a cultural institution here in Argentina. And much like the 20 ounce cup of coffee in Northern California, Mate is enjoyed along river banks, on hikes, and in all manner of nature loving situation.
Yerba Mate (pronounced "yerba mahtay") is a medicinal and cultural drink of ancient origins. Introduced to the world by the Guarani Indians of South America, Mate is said to boost immunity, cleanse and detoxify the blood, tone the nervous system, restore youthful hair color, retard aging, combat fatigue, move objects with the mind, control the appetite, reduce the effects of debilitating disease, reduce stress, reverse impotence, and alleviate insomnia.
Doesn't Mau look healthy in this picture?

Forget all that. Does it taste good?
Tastes like bitter weeds.
Rather refreshing, really.
