What does it taste like and how many of you drink this?

>>75067968
I do sometimes. Its bretty nice if it has ginger.

>>75067968
it literally feels like drinking the jungle
very earthy and herb-like aroma, not like any other drink (not even tea)
a tad bitter but still one of my favorite beverages

I'm seriously craving for it just looking at OP's picture.

Thanks, Paraguay

>a tad bitter

Yep. I'd say it's an acquired taste perhaps...

It's more pleasant than actually tasty somehow.

>>75068336
Would you say it's UMA DELICIA?

I like it the more I drink it. But I've been using my french press like a pleb instead of dishing out for a real mate.

What is it and where can I try it?

>>75069195
It's called Yerba Mate. I don't know where you can buy it.

>>75069466
amazon?

>>75069484
Probably.

Drinking, like always. It tastes bitter,i like that way like most people, but you can put other things like sugar, lemon and orange peels etc.

>>75068039
Do you guys really drink it? Its something common?

>>75069525
no no no! That jorgito needs to be chocolate!

>>75067968
I drink it with my dad at work and at his place. I don't have my own thermos and mate yet

>>75067968
Drank it a few times in a gourd. It's earthy, smoky tasting, it's distinct. First time I drank it I thought it was like an ashtray water but a couple of other attempts were better.

Still not something I'd generally pick over a tea or coffee if I'm at either.

ancient amerindian drink

In my region we drink it ice cold

they sell bottles of it here and it always tastes better than when I brew it

Just like drinking Yerba Mate tea but it's more raw.

It's an acquired taste, I guess, I'm not much into it but my family loves it.

It wasn't a thing where I came from, so I never really tried it. My younger brother drinks it, though, ice cold(we call it “tereré”.

>>75068271
Why do Brazilians use that shitty yerba? It looks like powder

I don't really drink it because according to my family, which is Patrician and very traditional, mate is a beverage drank by lazy people while they should be working.

>>75069525
Che boludo tenemos el mismo mate....

I have never had this stuff but I want to try it. Do you guys ever refill the same gourd over and over again? Or do you just clear it out each time?

>>75071911
you hipster

Only Amerindians can enjoy this drink.
This is why weak Euros and Americans put an horrorized expression on their face when they first try this delícia, they can't handle it.

>>75067968
It tastes like absolute shit
>was this one day on the subway during Olympics
>see gaúchos drinking chimarrão near me
Disgusting.

>>75072708
I used to drink it almost everyday during lunch when I worked at a grocery store because coffee sometimes gave me an upset stomach

>>75071911
That's because that's a product marketed to people that don't really feel like drinking the real thing, so they add flavors, and probably sugars.
It's the equivalent to eating chinese food made by the son of a chinese immigrant, and with recepies adapted to local preferences instead of going to eat real day to day chinese food in China

>>75072921
they also sold a plain unsweetened one, which was the best

>>75072685
The flavor starts washing out after say 5 or 6 refills. I don't remember what the popular knowledge of when to refill it was, but I think it's when most of the stuff stops floating and you end up with a kind of heterogeneous mix

>>75072773
Brazilians don't even drink mate...Idk what shit they drink but it sure is something disgusting without flavor and all powdery and rancid.
My friend from porto alegre brought some of his brazilian grass (I won't even call is yerba) to uni and it was the nastiest shit I ever tried.
Even the chileans I met have better taste for mate, hell even the couple of Bolivians I know.

Stupid people.

Que asco...

>>75073042
Most of our mate comes from Paraguay.

Even more in Paraná, here we only drink tereré and it is most of the times Kurupi

>>75073012
Okay thanks.

porque son tan barderos los yoruguas cuando surge el tema del mate? rescatate

>>75073120
>>75075580
Ya eran los últimos mates, locos. ese justamente fue el último por que no lo quisieron arreglar. Que tanto bardo?

>>75075884
Por que no quieren reconocer que son provincia, y les jode que relacionen el mate con Argentina.
