Does anyone actually like mate more than coffee or tea?

love it

>>8050839
Love this shit. Would drink it over coffee, but my country loves coffee more than anything else, so I almost never see mate for sale.

>>8050839
coffee mate tastes good by itself but also its a bit to sweet, is this weed?

tea is for faggots from England and old ladies

never heard of it. looked it up. has strong links to cancer.

nope.

>>8050839
Fuck that with a cherry on top!

I'vwe been a coffee addict since I was 16, and the one time I tried that shit left me jittery for 2 days. It also tasted horrible.

>>8050839
I prefer black tea, but mate has more xanthine content so I would rather have that I guess.

That being said I mostly have caffeine pills and the occasional cup of tea.

>the one time I tried that shit left me jittery for 2 days

Really? Mate leaves me feeling extremely calm, almost like a super weak high

>>8051451
>I mostly have caffeine pills
I cringe every time I see you say that. It's like eating an unseasoned steak and then swallowing a salt tablet. If you don't enjoy the flavour of delicious espresso then you may as well just take speed.

>>8051476
Speed is illegal and very expensive

>>8050839
Even the machine is vomiting it up

>>8050839
Yes. But it triggers my tinnitus so I can't have it. Sucks to be me.

This is what I do when I see people drinking mate

6€ per g at the most
more effect per "serving"

>>8052005
Not the guy you are replying to but I lived in a rural community where the prices were close to $400/g if you weren't good friends with the dealer. Dunno why anyone would get mad at people taking caffeine tablets though.

>>8052012
400 for amphetamine not ice?
where you from mate ?

>>8051798
That was lovely

>>8051798

I really like it, and the "summer versión" Terere even more (yerba mate + cold orange juice)
But man... I cant live withouth my tea

>>805201
caffeine pills are all good, they have their place. You mean occasionally though right? Taking them every day would be ridiculous.

>>8050839
I didn't even know this shit existed

what the fuck!?

>Researchers from NCI (National Cancer Institutes) and Brazil found both cold- and hot-water extractions of popular commercial yerba mate products contained high levels (8.03 to 53.3 ng/g dry leaves) of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (i.e. benzo[a]pyrene).[22]

im good

>>8052366
The research is probably true but

> Mate: the most popular thing ik Argentina right next to soccer
> Some brazilian research finds a correlation with cancer

Kek, never change brazil, never change

>>8052366
only applies to smoke-dried mate. the PAH comes from the smoke.

Air-dried mate has nominal PAH levels comparable to coffee tea etc.

>>8051234
Technically speaking it is a herbal infusion.
Since Yerba Mate isn't Camilia Sinensis
Read a book

>>8052366
What a massive pussy

just bought some guayaki loose leaf mate for the first time

anybody have experience cold brewing it? it seems like cold brew hibiscus + mate would be amazing. I usually make cold brew hibiscus with some spices like cloves, cinnamon, and star anise...don't see why i couldn't combine it all together

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_(beverage)

The first time I heard 'Yerba Mate' was playing ESO and thought it was some made up Dunmer drink

>>8051476
I do enjoy the flavor. I just don't have time.

Some of us have actual jobs.

>>8053164
It takes five minutes to brew it dude. Are you a nurse/doctor or something?

>>8051279
Only if you drink it using boiled water, the rest of south america drink it using between 70ºC and 85ºC

Yes, sometimes I mix burrito and mate and prepare it on a tea pot, then I left it with boiled water during 3 minutes and serve

I remember my mother doing it like that when I was a kid, I believe I must be the only one that do it that way.

what the fuck?

>>8053421
Smoked Yerba Mate has ties to cancer
Don't get smoked man

>>8053289
No, but I do medical research and often work 60+ hour weeks (I do enjoy things during weeks with less work).

I often work with animals and I don't like drinking a lot of liquid in the morning because then I need to pee more often and its just a waste of time to sanitize myself and everything else just to do it again when I get back from peeling. And I often just can't leave to pee for 3-4 hours at a time.

>>8054092
so put your dick in a balloon and piss in the balloon. you stupid or something?

A friend let me try some mate, fucking awesome, I hate coffee so I'd like to get into it
Question though, is the gourd absolutely necessary or can I just get a bombilla and drink it out of a coffee mug

>>8054235
been using mugs ever since my dipshit shit for brains stepdad ruined my gourd
tbqh i should get a new one tho

>>8053347
You could try mate cocido. Its a variation more like tea

Yeah you could. But there are some silicone mate-gourd really cool and easy to clean/transport

(Dont listen to any hipsters, even here in Argentina we use anything , if no gourd is available )
