I recommend sticking with the bitterness for some time till you’re ok with it. It is an acquired taste. It’s always a good idea to reduce sugar intake.

Fun fact: in Argentina, electric kettles come with a mate setting which heats the water up to 80 degrees Celsius

I love that people from the U.S and Europe are discovering mate! You Will not regret it! Those who are saying that is a lot of work: you are wrong!

Greetings from Argentina!

Yerba mate is a nutritional powerhouse loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants😀

i dumped coffee and Yerba Mate became my best daily healthy drink.

Your explanation is really clear and concise. I've been drinking mate for ages already, but it's nice hearing someone explain it so well. Great research

I've always really enjoyed the "clean" energy kick from yerba mate.

My friend went on exchange to Uruguay and he discovered this and brought it back. The first time I had it it was not pleasant but as I started drinking more of it it got really good and now I drink it all the time. It has replaced coffee for me because it doesn't make you crash like coffee and it has so many more nutritional benefits. Also in my own personal experience the best mate for the price is Canarias they sell it by the Kilo.

I've been drinking Yerba Mate for 10 years now and love it. I enjoy the bitterness so I don't use any sweetener. Don't miss coffee at all. You did a pretty good job of explaining the "ritual" to get a good drink.

You prepared that mate perfectly, Celine must be proud.

If you live in the States and go to an Argentinean store or an Uruguayan one in big cities, you can buy 1 kilogram of yerba mate por around 12 dollars! Much cheaper than the one you bought that is very expensive in stores such as Whole Foods. I use an Uruguayan one, the name is Canarias

[paulaangelina]

It makes me really happy seeing people of other cultures/countries try this!
Also, the Yerba you chose is very very powdery so it tends to be more bitter. I personally do not like that brand and prefer a thicker cut.

This is a great review and a good instructional for those who want to start drinking mate, very well researched. Mind you, when you start to drink mate the first 'cup' is usually the most bitter and it is not uncommon to spit this first batch if it is to bitter for taste.

Hello from Italy. Really enjoyed that upbeat review. I was listening and drinking out of my own blue travel silcone version of a gourd. Being married to a gaucho, I've picked up the habit. : ) All the best!

Mate is great, it has many benefits. I'm from the south of Brazil and here we drink a lot of mate. When I was a kid I drank with my grandma every morning. Today I drink every day and I do it in memory of her! I'm making my mate at the moment.

Great video, I really like the effort that you put into this and your review style! I have been curious about the process of making Yerba mate at home lately and the this video gave me a great idea of it. New sub!

[catrinalynne]

wow that's unique. I've never seen anything quite like that. great review. also love the Oakley shirt.

[chubbychibiclub]

this is absolutely fascinating to me. I love learning about different cultures and traditions, wish I had an open minded group of friends to share a cup of this with 😊

[samaireoctober]

thank you for reminding me about covering the bomba when you put it in the cup.

Add Stevia is correct since the Guaranies used to mix some leaves of Stevia in the gourd to kill the bitterness of the Caa-Pora as they called it. Both plants are native of the same area in South America.
