What is yerba mate? Answer From Katherine Zeratsky, R. The practice requires a mate or dried gourd , a bombilla , a special straw for drinking that filters out the tea leaves , and a thermos, for transporting the hot water. The gourd gets passed around, and everyone takes a sip through the bombilla.
A tip: never use the bombilla to stir, this is considered very impolite! There are tons of different types of both mates and bombillas , and in South America, each person will usually have his or her own unique one. Second, although mate is meant to be enjoyed for long hours, please avoid taking a long time to drink - the rest of the group may grow impatient! As you can probably tell, drinking mate is a bonding experience, and it is much more intimate than drinking coffee or tea - think of it as drinking from the same glass or the same bottle, so do it if you feel comfortable.
On that note, please be considerate and do not drink mate if you have a cold or some other illness that could be transmitted that way. Search Sales Yerba Mate.
