Just tried my first mate, I’m a black coffee drinker so I found that I actually prefer hotter water and a more bitter taste. It definitely doesn’t last as long as cooler water but I think I’ve firmly left coffee in the past.

[@yerbamatelab]

Whatever works best for you! Glad to hear that though🧉🙌

[@retlamaneGD]

As an Argentinian, I usually put the bombilla first, also i love your channel i hope your business goes really well

[@adammalczewski9280]

I've had lots of yerba mate in the past but only when I started drinking the Argentinian one I got really into it and incorporated it into my everyday routine

[@yerbamatelab]

What brand is that?

Vienen bien los videos para gente que no vive en sur América. Soy irlandés pero vivo con una mujer argentina y se flipó cuando le hice un mate en casa como profesional jajaja. Ya me llama matero gracias a estos vídeos

[@Pop-rb8bf]

I just bought the things I need to make this drink I can’t wait for it to come in the mail

[@Allyourbase1990]

I love trying different herbal teas , and idk how I’ve never heard of this . I’m definitely trying it soon

[@Gengo04]

Dude.. you definitely know your stuff.. Good on ya!!! Im from Argentina and i drink mate pretty much every day... i use the brand Taragüí. Sometimes i drink the ¨sin palo¨ which is just crushed leaves. Much stronger and better for taking on long business trips. Keep it up!

[@taurusnyy]

Is sin palo stronger with caffeine do you think?

[@Gengo04]

@@taurusnyy i would say it is. it does taste ''greener'' because its 90% leaves and 10% powder. although i use the original one because the sin palo one is a little too strong for me.

[@taurusnyy]

@Gengo04 I can never have enough caffeine lol 😆 thanks

[@averyhandsomechilean3218]

Argentinian mate is the best in my opinion

[@TheJewishNazi69]

Majority of the brands i like are Argentinian however my favorite is canarias which isn’t Argentino 😂

Great! Just a comment. The coil bombillas aren't used as a filter, the can be opened and cleaned easier. Also, there are some filters you can buy (in Argentina) to cover the bombilla and due to its physical properties it prevents the dust from being suck. I've just checked and there are some devices sold to specifically separate the dust from the yerba. I imagine you know, but Syrians and Lebanese are also heavy mate drinkers.

[@dumoon9467]

Nice mate, When i first handed it to my friends they completely moved the bombilla HAHA, even tho i told them not to. Nice using taragui, my personal favorites are Canarias, Rosamonte and Pipore (suave or sin palo) You should review them! They are nice, cheap, and easy to find - Mexican here, thanks!

[@yerbamatelab]

I've reviewed them all on our website (www.yerbamatelab.com/category/yerba-mate-reviews/), not in video yet though.

Hello, wich exact model/brand of a goose neck kettle do you use? Thanks in advance

[@RamLaska]

Total n00b here, but I find I can build an acceptable mountain with Playadito (another course-cut Argentinian brand, for those not familiar with it) if I just let it steep initially for a while, and don't over-fill it. Then every time I drinking a pour, I grab some of the web leaves from the bottom with my spoon bombilla and use them as a kind of cement to hold the dry mountain in place -- that may be heresy, I just found it worked for me. ;) Been drinking yerba mate for a month now, and I really love it. Such a great boost and not harsh like coffee or energy drinks. P.S. Thanks for the videos and shorts, Darren. You're the sole reason I'm drinking mate today, so cheers!

[@yerbamatelab]

That's pretty much how it's done for Uruguayan yerbas if the mountain topples over. Glad it's working well for you though! Thanks for the support🧉🙏

[@mr.tremolomeasure9290]

+10 points for pronouncing "bombilla" as "bombisha". i'm from Argentina

[@nathanharrichand5560]

Idk about that cause I live in Argentina and everyone says bombisha

[@vinkei4521]

No se pronuncian la LL y la Y como SH en todas las provincias de Argentina. Yo soy de San Juan y nosotros no lo pronunciamos así, lo pronunciamos más como en el resto del mundo, y sé que hay varias provincias donde se pronuncia así también

[@wicked1327]

just got myself a Yerba mate set since ive always wanted to try it, been getting a pretty decent mountain, but i get alot of little leave parts through the bombilla(?) any ideas why that is or is it supposed to be like that ?

[@nvlx2]

Hello sir, I was curious if you still drink Water? Yerba Mate is highly refillable and can last for liters probably. So, do you finish the whole cup in a day or store it for later? If you drink the whole thing, do you still have space for Water?

[@johncameron4194]

Looks good

[@Phenom305]

Do you add sugar or any other sweetener? Also, doesn't this type of mate cup have a tendency to get mold?

[@tayladunn2925]

im aussie so how do it taste? also can u buy Yerba mate any where or is it only in serten stores

[@tapeape1168]

Can I drink this in the morning and do I use a dishcloth, im rather young and I wanna know if I’m ready

[@Soppsleven]

What kind of kettle is that?

[@dorothymckay733]

so if you make a yerba you need to try and make the mound stay dry your first pour?

[@obscureskeleton118]

I cant get the yerba to stay up i fill it half shake it at an angle and then turn it carefully it just falls back down. What am i doing wrong?

[@JakubPacka]

Is taragüí a good yerba for beginners?

[@matumatatasify]

What is your opinion on when the yerba gets stale? When visiting family in Latam I buy yerba on bulk and bring it to where I live. Usually some yerba have quite the life on a shelf until I come to drink it. Did you notice a big flavor change while storing yerba mate for a few months? Since I like to buy different brands to not get bored I cant do comparative tasting haha Appreciate the content ^^

[@CrystalRuizEnriquez]

Have you tried those vacuum seal things so it doesn't go stale?

[@erik98.07]

How? Whats the trick? My mountain is always get soaking wet, the yerba swell from the water, and when i drink it collapses, and i need to make another mountain for the next dose, and again…

[@Tom_Crush]

Quick question as a 13 year old who is a addicted to caffeine and drinks about 3-5 energy drinks a day and sometimes a cup of coffee or two is yerba mate a better/healthier way of getting caffeine

[@jtestaccount2431]

My response would be to seek help, not joking at all. That's incredibly unhealthy and you'll get heart failure at 30 if you keep it up

[@yerbamatelab]

Can only speak for myself, my body reacts way better on yerba mate compared to coffee. Energy drinks are terrible.

[@nickbuis3307]

The caffeine in mate will definitely be much better than getting it from other sources. All in all, you'll probably end up with lower doses in practice because the caffeine spike in mate is much less yet arguably reaches the same high, and furthermore, it is more sustained.

[@reaperfrost5897]

Less sugar in mate so if you switch to Yerba mate you can drink it with no sugar energy drinks have tons and tons of sugar best to not over due caffine

[@nachtensturn1634]

I love how people are saying that it helps you with energy and everything...lmao that's probably because you are hydrated! You're just drinking flavored water...lol

[@RavenousFallen]

I really enjoy drinking coffee with breakfast but absolutely hate the way i feel so much tension, anxiety, high blood pressure, if only we could create the flavor of coffee with yerba mate 😂

[@TAISP2023]

How many sips you have if your gourd is quite small? Mine is like 3 sips and I have to refill again. Am I doing something wrong?

[@yerbamatelab]

No, you just have a small gourd

[@rodrigovaldez8693]

No esta mal, de hecho bastante bien, pero si le pones esa cantidad de agua temperatura ambiente desde un comienzo el primer mate te va a salir frío. Una cosa es comenzar con el agua caliente pero que no queme la yerba y otra diferente es comenzar un mate con agua hirviendo y que finalmente se queme la yerba. Buen video

Hasta que se lave (cuando ya parece una sopa). O sea, ahí también podes seguir tomando, pero por lo general es mejor cambiar la yerba.

The bombilla is to be placed before you pour the yerba. Optional for you to take out some of the dust i prefer it with because i like the bitterness.

[@JUANXAVIERNUNEZ]

Never insert the bombilla before the yerba

nah es mejor de la forma en la que lo hace

[@doclmoreno]

"The bombilla is to be placed before you pour the yerba." Thats heresy, don´t do that.

[@jadehoskins3363]

@JUANXAVIERNUNEZ I believe it's traditional to place the bombilla 1st before pour in Argentina all my family did it that way and they are from Mar Del Plata

[@JUANXAVIERNUNEZ]

@@jadehoskins3363 I don't think that is the most traditional way my friend, but im sure its also common to do it the way you mentioned.

Надоело ваше старомодное и не разумное заваривание. Сколько раз вы сможете пить такой крепкий мате? Раз в день? И куда девать остальную траву? Это недельная доза, которую невозможно выпить за день. Выбрасывать? Разумно заваривать как чай небольшое количество травы в кружке

[@neguro17271]

as an argentinian we drink it every day at every moment, when studying or working, on our free time, in the morining or night... literally every moment but not in those where you need both hands free, for us is not strong either also you can put sugar on it every 2 or 3 servings if you preffer ir sweeter. also when it is served in a mug as a tea is called "mate cocido" and it is also a very common thing to do. cheers
