Good overview! Chile is also known for enjoying yerba mate, specifically the Mapuche

In summer you can change the hot water for fruit juice and drink it cold. It's called "terere".

Друг какой сок лучше?

[@mikimakotini3893]

@@user-th6nj3dk2p You can use any juice but the "best" would be any citrus juice. So lemon, lime, orange and pomelo would be some good juices. Though you might want to water it down so the juice isn't too sour!

[@khuaNsaNsiau]

If you use a ball rolled oolong tea (for example) by the time you’ve brewed a few infusions the leaves will have expanded to take up the whole teapot, so the ratio leaf to space in vesicle between tea and mate is not always as different as one might think

Thank you for the information

Nice video !!! I add a little sugar ...greetngs from Buenos Aires

[@puma1304]

you left out southeastern Bolivia and southern Chile, where we also drink lots of mate tea! And you are right, the Jesuits were the ones that created yerba plantations, created some varieties (like the Caa Mini) and transformed it into an industry. During colonial times they exported from their paraguayan mission plantations to all neighboring countries, and quite soon plantations also appeared in Argentina and Brazil. It was an important source of vitamin C for regions where lots of meat and few vegetables were eaten. And it was too bad the testers did not get Brazilian gaucho cut yerba mate to try...

No,Puma argentina and brazil didnt exist at that momento Everything was LA BANDA ORIENTAL...

Why are some mate's considered "beginner mate"?

[@MateyGardelOriental]

Because of the size..A begginer usually doesnt know if they gonna like it that is why is recomended no to put too much yerba (is a waste of yerba mate) and....thats why is recomended to start with a small mate.."beginner mate")
