Caffeine makes me shit in my pants, I'm the only person in my family who don't drink this

i have no clue about brands or anything, but i love it

there was this one brand which was kind of smoke flavored. that was my favorite.

mate is not a very common thing here so first it's hard to find anyone intelligible about it and second it's just hard to find in general (or maybe i just go to the wrong stores or something).

answer to question: bitter. never ever sweet (like coffee i guess)

A bit of sweet on your coffee isn't bad at all.

how do you call it?

CBSé de naranja papá

er-bha mha-teh?

something like that. we don't use the bomba (is this correct?) or a special vessel to contain it. we pretty much treat is as a herbal infusion.

Oh, that's called "mate cocido"... Like a mate tea.

Pretty tasty and cheap, it's the poorfag meal over here, and the daily breakfast for our army during falklands.

excellent choice, too bad it has too much dust for my taste

Aguante el Andresito vieja

what is m8 m8s?

el playadito raza maestra, y con azucar, como los machos.

not m8, ma-teh or something like that, and it's in OP's pic

i smoke weed too

Daily reminder that only Amerindians cam truly enjoy it.

That is why all Argentinians love it.

Does it taste good?

it's an herbal infusion and we literally drink more mate than water per day, in foreigners depends, some says it tastes like tobacco, others love it

t. faggot who does not drink mate

>straight from the pava
what if you go outside then? you take the pava? lol

It does taste amazing when prepared properly, hot water but not boiling, you should try it

I'm amerindian ergo average argentine ergo I love mate ergo you are wrong

I think that going out with mate is more an uruguayan thing, but we also have termos

has orange in it?

that brand have it, it comes in different flavours

Only fags drink it with flavored yerba

eso se aplica a los latinos, los extranjeros quieren todo listo, asi que no pretendas que van a secar cascara de naranja para ponerle al termo

Is this basically a Rio Platense thread?

it seems so

I wanted to drink that shit for years, until my current argie gf got me some, now i want more, but have no idea where can i buy it, and im not shameful enough to ask her for more.

idk man. if it's just orange peel in the prepackaged then that's fine, but flavoured stuff kind of puts me off in general. m8 is ok but I prefer tea.

arriba rosario vieja no me importa nada.

mate, if Poles can get it in markets, I'm pretty sure you can aswell, search for it in google, maybe you'll find something

vos tenes que volver

Nisiquiera se donde lo compro, pero trajo su termo y me dio cuando estaba haciendo su tarea y yo me hacia pendejo leyendo, le pregunte donde lo vendían y me mando a la mierda ;_;
>vos tenes que volver
:^^^))) pero si yo soy mexicano.
Fui a rosario y a plata hace unos años, pienso volver tho.

What is this devils drink? It's got the caffeines in it ah? How do you make it? How do you drink it, what's with the straw?

Mate is really popular here, especially since one voyager-TV celebrity started promoting it in the 90's, he always wears shitty shirts, goes barefoot and drinks mate. I'm surprised that there are some L. American countries without mate, here one can buy it in all shopping malls, although it's probably twice more expensive than in Argentina.

>flavors
kill yourself
>sweet or bitter?
Seriously just end your life you cock gobbling porteño

>Mate cebado

More like mate lavado, you're not supposed to put water over all of it, it's not soup

did you try it?, if so, did you like it?

mate tastes like shit

why so mad, yorugua

the only thing washed here is your pic, lmoa

your taste is shit

I liked it, but I don't have all that stuff one needs to drink it, still - my friends drink it regularly. I prefer those fruit flavoured kinds so I may be a pleb.

Al mate se lo toma como uno quiere uruguayo pelotudo, no es necesario que lo tome en una fogata cantando el aro aro... Yo ví vender dulce de leche en sachets y no te digo nada la concha de tu madre.

Igual ya sé que haces todo este show para intentar auto-otorgarte un título de "dueño del mate".

well, I know there are polish websites who sell all the stuff needed (the straw, mate cup and even the yerba)

>my friends drink it regularly
really? I didn't think it was that popular, although I've seen a couple of Poles here saying they tried it

lemon mate is best mate

fuck no.

god made coffee black and bitter, adding sugar and milk is a sin

>Sweet mate
Disgusting

I'm drinking this right now

With stems or without?

Esto carajo, esto.

its popular here because of cejrowski, a catholic publicist with his own travel show on public TV.

I know where to buy those accessories, but they are kinda expensive in my opinion, some of those "cups" (sorry for my incompetence) cost circa $25, of course one may also buy cheaper versions.

>really? I didn't think it was that popular
Well, I may exaggerate a little, because my friends drink it, probably there are many people who didn't try it, but it's not a problem to buy mate, not only using internet, but in literary every shopping mall/supermarket here.

As I wrote - mate was basically introduced by one guy, I doubt if anybody heard about mate before he started showing it on TV here:
youtube.com/watch?v=e9ZLiKJ8_WE

Check his internet shop - it's closed on Sunday, kek:
sklepkolonialny.com/pl/p/Matero-W.Cejrowskiego-z-bombilla-z-alpaki-YRM-05/1600#content

I like drinking it like beer

based Cejrowski and based Poland

Explain dis

>sweet or bitter

I prefer the native that are sweeter.

I am drinking this now

"i prefer savages to gays and degenerates"
"a gentleman doesn't visit a brothel and a cultured man doesn't go to a gay parade"

Also I just learned that a lot of argentinian yerba mate industry is owned by Polish-argentinians.
wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/1,114873,11424861,Argentynski_minister__Plantatorzy_yerba_mate_to__polskie.html

one of your ministers called them "polish dumbasses" for wanting to increase it's prices.
Is yerba mate treated like tobacco products? why does the government regulate it's prices?

found ana article in english
en.mercopress.com/2012/03/28/incident-with-poland-argentine-official-refers-to-poles-as-bums-and-stinking-feet

I've only tried the mate that comes in teabags and i really like it

I want to get the proper metal straw and container

kek, slick website

This mate is too bitter

I've never heard about this incident. Also - some mate in our shops comes from Brazil, it depends on the type, probably - there may be some regional variations, but I'm not an expert.

Why there is that sign "without sugar"? Do they sell mate with sugar in Brazil?

im casul tea drinker and i drink Bigalows "earl grey"

not sure what im missing out on.

I thought this was some kind of tentacle scat porn.

what is mate my dude?

absolutely disgusting

Yes, but it isn't popular

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_(beverage)

holy shit, this happened during our pseudo-communist government, Guillermo Moreno was an embarrassment for the whole country, the lowest of the low, Cristina had to fire him because of his behaviour (and because he was as corrupt as her)

also, I didn't know either that Polish diaspora was involved in yerba mate industry, the more you know

Gtfo gaucho

which brand would you recommend on amazon?

t. nordestino invejoso

Agua de tamal.

Best brands in Argentina: Taragüi, Rosamonte, Nobleza Gaucha, Playadito, Amanda, Cruz de Malta

La Merced

"libre de gluten" :D

Don't buy porongo bottle,

I recommend Cruz de Malta.

>porongo bottle
care to elaborate?

Best brazillian brand

When I went to Germany they had this canned drink called "Club Mate," is it the same thing?

oh wow, all of them are available on amazon except for playadito. about $15 per kilo

Cool,, it is on amazon too, 17 bucks per kilo

Porongo needs too much cleaning care and does not last more than 3 months.

aha, obrigado

the best brand there is
it has little dust and good flavor

>Went to Uruguay this summer
>Seeing people with a thermos under their arms everywhere (more than Buenos Aires)
>Every single mate brand in their supermarket are Brazilian

Also CBSe menta > all
And sweetened

Criminal price, but I guess it's ok...

Keep in mind that brazilian mate is different, needs different straw, it's more "wet" and has like a grass consistence... I'm not saying it's bad, just that they're not the same.

La Merced de campo costs $17-19 per kilo too

how long does a kilo last for you?

Ximango,Urubici and Barão do Cotegipe costs $3-4 per kilo here.

I'm that Polish user who drinks it only when visiting friends.

>Barão do Cotegipe
this one costs circa $17,5 per kilo here

are their teabags any good?

>moved to burgerland from Brazil
>can't find any mate in store
Y live

i don't really drink a lot of mate cocido but they should be if the raw materials are the same. mate cocido doesn't have the same taste though and people add sugar to it.

>Al mate se lo toma como uno quiere
Solo las putitas de 14 años y los yankis boludos toman mate con sabor, pajero.

Tenes orgullo de ser maricón.

siempre viene un urugato a hacerse el poronga por tomar el mate distinto

kek

y a decirte ''la forma correcta'' de tomarlo

Mate is only common in the southern states. If you ask for yerba in another state they will give you marijuana
