for real? you from latam or syria? there was a big syrian migration to argentina and when some returned to their country they took mate with them. i cannot live without mate.
I'm from Iran but I worked with an Argentinian for a few years in like 2010 and he refused to drink mate by himself so we used to leave the office and sit outside smoking and drinking mate during breaks and I got hooked. Mi favorito es el Rosamonte, pero voy probando otras cosas. Esta mañana estoy tomando Hierbas Silvestres.
lol, yeah, mate has to be shared! si podes proba estancia la merced, tienen distintas "cepas" de yerba que van de lo mas suave a lo mas amargo. my favourite is barbacuá which has a smoky bitter taste.
Is it kind of like smoked tea? I'm going to order it regardless I can't resist
it's a completely different taste than tea, but yeah, it definitely has a smoked taste to it. please do, make sure you have the bombilla and the mate!
