NOOOO, YOU DON'T BOIL THE WATER! :( Great yerba btw.

I love Yerba mate!! That’s how I survive college.

This yerba mate helps me. I am dyslexic and have ADHD this tea helps me stay focused more than coffee relieves my stress.

Alpaca is nickel silver. Usually 60% copper 20% nickel and 20% zinc

I've always heard that the first water introduced to the mate should be around 50 -- 60 C so as to "temper" the leaf and open it up gradually. Allegedly, this also helps to preserve the mate's nutrients before the introduction of warmer water. Thoughts?

Actually, I notice that mate with the stems in it (sin palo) is typically less bitter and more mild tasting than the pure leaf stuff (con palo). I don't think any of the health benefits of mate are any less just because there are stems in the mate (or not). Its just a different flavor, and not any sort of "filler" or imperfection or cheapening of the mate. For mates that have an intensely smokey flavor (Rosemonte Especial comes to mind), the stems retain that flavor much more between brews than the leaves do.

Great job! Así lo preparamos acá, y Canarias es la mejor yerba, si a alguien le parece muy fuerte pueden probar con Canarita que es un poco más suave, pero es la mejor marca

haha i love how you said "que va saber este gringo de mate" because thats exactly what i was thinking! until you said that! then i thought....with that perfect argentinian accent there's no way hes actually gringo...hes just pretending to be gringo!

You actually do want the stems....it provides more sweetness and more antioxidants

What type of Thermo cup do you use? Where you place the boiling water

How can I make like a pitcher of it so I can just pour some into my hydro flask and take it to school the next day

hi excuse me . when i drink yerba mate tea bag i feel sick ....want to vomit, like something in my throat .but when i drink green tea i don't feel sick .. do you know why ? thank u

Do you have a link for the gourd you used. ??

Today i saw yerba mate Canarias $450 kg in coto supermarket! I choose one called La tranquera more cheaper

I'm going to try this out when I go back to college. Caffeine just made me so anxious

Thanks for the vid, starting Yerba tomorrow. How much do you drink in one sitting/gourd? Thank you!
