Did you ever drink Yerba Mate?

Asked by jca (36062points) February 2nd, 2015

Pronounced “yerba mah-tay.”

A friend of mine who is Argentinian told me about this drink that is popular there. It’s like very dusty tea, and can be brewed from bags or loose. There’s a whole social ritual for the people who drink it, sitting in a circle, sharing the metal straw, etc. They call it simply “mate.”

I just looked at Yerba Mate blogs (yes, as you know there are blogs for everything) and they say it causes a euphoria.

Have you ever had Mate?
