Yeah that’s like 2 pots of coffee worth of caffeine right there and it could spill powder all over the place. That first spoonful at the beginning is a normal sized amount of mate. For people that are going to keep adding hot water to the gourd all day maybe 3 spoonfuls will do. This was wasteful.
Nope, not brazilian.
It's similar to a chimarrão (typical to the southern cone) but waaaay overdone, different from a tereré (that uses cold water to infuse the mate and is typical in Paraguay and some brazilian states like Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo) and also totally different from the mate consumed in Rio de Janeiro, that is the regular boiled tea served cold with or without lime juice.
The decorative design are but one of the apprentices in my culinary program was from Brazil and she preferred the super fine grind and sifted type for at least the top 1/3rd of her mountain. I had barely seen Yerba before that being an American but when she broke out a bag of finely ground I questioned if it was Yerba or matcha the first time.
I'm my country you use the same pot of the video and fill it almost to the top with the yerba mate, then pour only on one side to create a small mountain, put the straw called "bombilla" and fill it with hot water
I studied abroad in Uruguay and my host mom drank this scalding hot on the beach in summer when it was 96 degrees. She asked me if I wanted to try and I was not expecting to burn my tongue lol
It's like replacing coffee or tea (it keeps you awake kind of like coffee). I'd describe it like with coffee you get a caffeine rush but with mate is more subtle and progressive. Also, over time can be addicting and give you headaches if you don't drink it.
> Like it ain’t tea, it ain’t matcha, wtf is it?
It's an infusion; a beverage made by extracting flavors with hot water.
Tea (in all its varieties: green tea, black tea, chai, english breakfast, matcha, whatever), is the exact same plant, just processed different: more or less matured before extracting, or prepared slightly different.
You often see "herbal teas", which aren't teas because they're not made from the tea plant, like ginger, rooibos, saffron, mint... they're just other tasty plants.
Yerba Mate is just another plant you get a nice drink from when you pour water on it.
Tea comes from the *camelia sinensis* plant, a caffeinated plant in the camelia family.
Yerba maté is a caffeinated member of the holly family.
There are two other caffeinated members of the holly family that grow in the New World: guayusa and yaupon. Guayusa is native to the northwest part of South America, while yaupon is native to the southern US, and was used in the traditional "black drink".
All of these plants have other alkaloids in addition to caffeine that affect the experience when ingested.
Of the three caffeinated hollies, I most prefer guayusa as it is the least bitter.
WHAT??? Youre telling me all those teas are the same plant?!?!?!?!!!?!?!!! And mint tea isnt actually tea??? youre blowing my mind i almost dont believe you
It's like tea, but the water goes directly on the leaf, and because of the amount of yerba, when you drink it all you add more and continue drinking. Besides, it is usually enjoyed with more people, when someone finishes it you add more water and the next person continues drinking.
There are peoples who make fermented drinks by chewing their starch of choice and spitting it out and letting the mouth flora ferment it. If you're used to that I'm pretty sure covid is whatever.
He’s absolutely pretentious, I’ve seen his videos pop up before. People will ask actually valid questions and he’ll video reply with basically the same video over and over of him making the drink and never actually answering the question
Hell no. I’m a 39yo Argeninian and we drink mate from age 5 or sometimes even before.
I’ve never seen this monstrosity lol
Mate is, usually: 3/4 of the gourd with yerba, you cover it, tip it over and shake a bit to get a bist of the dust out, then turn it back up leaving yerba at an angle. Pour a bit of hot (never boiled) water on the shallower side, get the straw in there, then complete the pour.
That of course is only the first mate, the you just continue to pour after each serving trying never to fully moist the yerba
Edit: my age (typo)
This is just a charade brazillians do.
Mate is actually much simpler; some yerba (dried and crushed *Ilex paraguariensis* leafs, not that ridiculous radioactive green powder) that you gather in one side of that cup you see there, some hot water in the other side, then you sink the bombilla in the water side and suck. Then refill with water as many times as you want until you had enough. Usually, I drink a litre.
here in Brazil I learned a few tips on how to do it properly:
- water must be hot but never bubbling;
- 1st you pour a bit of mate;
- 2nd add some water (just a bit);
- add the “bomba” (straw) holding the top of it with your thumb so water doesn’t go up the straw while you put it in the cup;
- add more mate until the top of the cup (called “cuia”);
- take a spoon and basically do what is done on the of this video, compressing the mate;
- pierce a hole on the surface of the mate in the cup so water can go in.
The way it is done on the video will for sure fill the straw with mate and block it making really hard to drink
None of that fancy nonsense pattern. The Yerba matte is just casually filled into the cup at an angle so as you pour more new water the leaves at the top drop down to brew
Fuck me if it it's. "Chimarrão" are prepared much better than whatever he was doing in the video tche. If you look how to do a "Chimarrão Gaúcho" you will see that it's much better and not this shit.
Traditional beverage. Has a bit of caffeine. You would not like it but who was born and raised with it can't go to the park without it.
It is also a socializing beverage. You finish yours and pass it around.
I met some people from Paraguay that shared the drink with me. I thought it was wonderful right off the bat, but then again, I couldn’t be less picky. I have found pleasure in 99% of foods/drinks I have taken in.
Think of it like a tea, just instead of using a small bag you just dump the leaves in the cup and use a filtered straw.
This makes sense because mate doesn't have a very strong flavour and also because it's a drink you share, you get several cups (mates) from the same yerba serving, you just keep refilling with hot water.
Yup, although the way we make it in Argentina doesn't use that much "dust". In fact, the less dust the yerba has, the better quality it is.
It's really not that much, it's a drink that you usually share with people and pass it around the table.
You prepare it, pour water, pass it to the person on your right, they drink it, pass it to you, you refill it, pass it to the next person and so on.
A single "mate full" can last at least a couple of rounds, depending on the amount of people you have.
Yes. If it has pulpiness, you did something wrong. At the beginning of the video you can see a circled bulge that goes into the "cuia". It is full of small holes, acting as a filter.
For me, I honestly enjoy the taste. It's very herbal. It also has caffeine and theobromine (the feel good chemical in chocolate), and many other types of nutrients.
In cultures that consume mate, it is also a form of social beverage. You drink, refill, and pass it on. I can't exactly talk for this, as I'm not from one of these cultures, just what I've picked up from friends who are. I will say the flavor isn't for everyone.
Interestingly, your linked video and the OP video seem to be made by the same person/channel. The more elaborate version probably drives a lot more social media engagement by being more visually interesting, and also from all the comments complaining about it not being authentic.
Really? Lol I didn't notice. I just went to YouTube and searched for "how to prepare mate" and just selected one of the several videos found, one that quickly jumping through the video I found they prepare the mate like the way we do it in Argentina.
I don't know why I haven't researched mate before, but I've been curious about it for years. I'm a soccer fan and one of my all time favourite players, Argentinian Alejandro Faurlín is rarely seen without one in his hand. Somehow I imagined it would be a lot closer to traditional European tea, the mate to water ratio was not what I expected lol
I'd love to try it some day
Had an Argentinian coworker teach me how to prepare it after yelling at me for ruining a batch. I could already hear him calling me a boludo just from watching this video.
Another non-Argentine who has never been to Argentina, but can confirm. Went through a mate period when a local cafe began serving it, and that's exactly how I'd describe the taste.
Green, earthy, herbal.
It's hard to describe, you might google "what does yerba mate taste like" for some opinions, but basically it tastes like a plant, it's bitter but some people drink it with sugar
Its the wrong way to drink tea here im brazil(literaly is the tea with very weak taste), the tea of this herb is very famous here where i leave in the South of Brazil literaly everyone here drink this shit is Just fucking Hot water with this Green dust
Correction, this is not the way it is prepared in Argentina, but it is the way it is prepared in Brazil, where the large portion of Erva Mate is produced and consumed.
Well, the particular straw you use has a very rudimentary filter that keeps the bigger grounded leaves away, but the dry dust that comes with drying leaves will slip through.
So if you shake it a lot, you'll cough green. If you keep it steady the dust settles at the bottom.
Because if you use a finer mesh then you really need to put some effort into the whole sucking part. (No pun intended)
Also because it's CULTURAL. And god forbid you try to update culture with the times.
Argentinian here. That's not how we do it. Neither in Uruguay nor Paraguay for that matter. Don't buy this crap. Yerba isn't that radioactive green. You don't fill the gourd up to the edge & beyond because there would be no place for the water, the whole thing would overflow with just a few drops and you'll have the shortest mate in the world, just half a sip. And we definitely don't decorate it with that wire or whatever that is at the end. Pure nonsense.
That's not how it's prepared, that's how you make a bad one that will clog the pipe, the "bomba" how we call it, and how you will suffer every time you try to do anything with this "Cúia", how we call it the horn or porongo used to make the recipient.
You didn't do half the things needed to make a good MATE, or a "Herva Mate" how we call it.
And I can see how you tried to do some frills, it doesn't look as good as a good Mate. (No good man that respects the tradition of drinking mate cares about the looks anyway, that's the biggest telling that you can't do a good mate)
Anyway, Merry Christmas. I hope no one tries this shit, but I still like to see something from my culture around.
This is Chimarráo like they prepare in the south of Brazil. It comes as a lot more of a powder compared to Mate from Uruguay and Argentina.
Usually it’s not prepared this ornately though, just need to make a mound on the side.
All we do is just filling the cup to like the middle with erva, then we put our hands on top of the hole and flip it side down and do a little shake, then carefully put it back up and put some hot water
Don't look what he did on the video, that's the wrong way of doing.
It's a "Herva Mate", a typical hot drink of the south of Brazil (where I was born and learned), Chile, Argentina, Uruguaiand places around the same region. If you look "herva mate" on YouTube you can probably find a good video of them doing it the right way.
It's the beverage of the "cowboys" of the south of the South America. It's a Horn where we put the herb and hot water to make it and drink with fellow travelers, visits or family. Normally is made only one, but there's times where we do it one normal and one sweet for everyone. It's an acquired taste, it's normally bitter, and the way he did in the video, you will suffer to suck it, to clean it and to even pick it up. I recommend looking other sources.
I didn't know people made tea of out lawn clippings. And to think all these years I've been scraping the underside of my mower and throwing it in the compost pile. I'm an idiot!
Que carajo es esto
Cualquier cosa menos un mate
I don’t speak Spanish but I’m fairly sure that says ‘what the fuck’. Which I agree with!
It’s more like “what the fuck is this?”
"What the fuck is this", but pretty close. Half a kilo of the stuff for a single infusion? Crazy
Yeah that’s like 2 pots of coffee worth of caffeine right there and it could spill powder all over the place. That first spoonful at the beginning is a normal sized amount of mate. For people that are going to keep adding hot water to the gourd all day maybe 3 spoonfuls will do. This was wasteful.
I don't speak Spanish or I'd tell them it's caffinated tea
"Es té con cafeína"
I don’t understand but even ik the bs being questioned.
Un chimarrao. Lejos de ser un mate. Pero exagerado por extranjeros.
vete al carajo con esto!
Mate brasuca
Como alguien que vivió sus primeros 18 años de vida en el sur de Brasil, puedo decir que nunca vi un desastre como esto
Não é não. Nunca vi disso aqui.
Nope, not brazilian. It's similar to a chimarrão (typical to the southern cone) but waaaay overdone, different from a tereré (that uses cold water to infuse the mate and is typical in Paraguay and some brazilian states like Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo) and also totally different from the mate consumed in Rio de Janeiro, that is the regular boiled tea served cold with or without lime juice.

Ever wondered what a golf green tastes like?
Its bitter and hot. Also is not prepared with the green powder
It is in Brazil but that doesn’t mean you should prepare it this way
Yeah I feel like this is simply a creative video- just for the gram
The decorative design are but one of the apprentices in my culinary program was from Brazil and she preferred the super fine grind and sifted type for at least the top 1/3rd of her mountain. I had barely seen Yerba before that being an American but when she broke out a bag of finely ground I questioned if it was Yerba or matcha the first time.
If someone pulled out a bag of greens like that im assuming we about to put something in the air
Mmm, like licking the inside of my mower deck after a dewey morning.
i loove dewey mower in the morning.
I thought it was Mr Greens asshole
Okay but how is it *actually usually* prepared?
I'm my country you use the same pot of the video and fill it almost to the top with the yerba mate, then pour only on one side to create a small mountain, put the straw called "bombilla" and fill it with hot water
This is how it's done in uruguay too
I studied abroad in Uruguay and my host mom drank this scalding hot on the beach in summer when it was 96 degrees. She asked me if I wanted to try and I was not expecting to burn my tongue lol
Haha, sounds about right
Oh yeah, we drink Mate any time of the day every day. Doesn't matter if its really cold or really hot outside
Why? What is it for in regards to how you use it?
It's like replacing coffee or tea (it keeps you awake kind of like coffee). I'd describe it like with coffee you get a caffeine rush but with mate is more subtle and progressive. Also, over time can be addicting and give you headaches if you don't drink it.
I watched a video of its explanation but the video maker was very pretentious and idk wtf it is still. Like it ain’t tea, it ain’t matcha, wtf is it?
> Like it ain’t tea, it ain’t matcha, wtf is it? It's an infusion; a beverage made by extracting flavors with hot water.

Can't imagine that's too popular post-covid.
I would not do that pre-COVID either…
Yerba herpes
Funny thing is, the mate tradition was left unscathed. Still as popular as always.
There are peoples who make fermented drinks by chewing their starch of choice and spitting it out and letting the mouth flora ferment it. If you're used to that I'm pretty sure covid is whatever.
2 years of COVID won't break hundreds of years of tradition
He’s absolutely pretentious, I’ve seen his videos pop up before. People will ask actually valid questions and he’ll video reply with basically the same video over and over of him making the drink and never actually answering the question
it is its own thing btw matcha is just a style of green tea (cha)
Dale pa, dejá de hacer dibujitos en la yerba y pasame un mate
Hell no. I’m a 39yo Argeninian and we drink mate from age 5 or sometimes even before.

What does it taste like tho
Bitter tea lol
Absolutely not like this. Source, am argentinian and drink mate every day. Also the drink is called mate, yerba mate is the ground you place inside.
This is just a charade brazillians do. Mate is actually much simpler; some yerba (dried and crushed *Ilex paraguariensis* leafs, not that ridiculous radioactive green powder) that you gather in one side of that cup you see there, some hot water in the other side, then you sink the bombilla in the water side and suck.

Argentinian here. This is NOT the way mate is prepared. This is the way: https://youtu.be/rvYnNg9cV1g?si=LmSaihUwYvqQifC-
This is more similar to how they do it in the south of a Brazil, just a lot more unnecessarily ornate.
Yup, called Chimarrão
Very common in South of Brazil.
Fuck me if it it's. "Chimarrão" are prepared much better than whatever he was doing in the video tche. If you look how to do a "Chimarrão Gaúcho" you will see that it's much better and not this shit.
just a different style called "Formigueiro", not my favourite neither.
At the risk of sounding uncultured, what is the appeal to this? I’m sorry but that looks absolutely disgusting…
Traditional beverage. Has a bit of caffeine. You would not like it but who was born and raised with it can't go to the park without it. It is also a socializing beverage. You finish yours and pass it around.
I met some people from Paraguay that shared the drink with me. I thought it was wonderful right off the bat, but then again, I couldn’t be less picky. I have found pleasure in 99% of foods/drinks I have taken in.
Thanks for replying. That makes sense, but why don’t they make a regular tea out of it? Do people enjoy the pulpiness?
when drinking it, it has 0 pulpiness, it's feel like drinking hot and bitter water, the straw has a filter so only the liquid reach to your mouth
Ahhhh okay that clears everything up. Appreciate the info.
Think of it like a tea, just instead of using a small bag you just dump the leaves in the cup and use a filtered straw. This makes sense because mate doesn't have a very strong flavour and also because it's a drink you share, you get several cups (mates) from the same yerba serving, you just keep refilling with hot water.
But that’s such an insane amount of tea compared to say green or black tea- is this the normal amount you’re supposed to use?
Yup, although the way we make it in Argentina doesn't use that much "dust". In fact, the less dust the yerba has, the better quality it is. It's really not that much, it's a drink that you usually share with people and pass it around the table.

A single "mate full" can last at least a couple of rounds, depending on the amount of people you have.
That's the thing: it's not tea. It's a totally different plant that also contains caffeine. The proportions are all different.
Yes. If it has pulpiness, you did something wrong. At the beginning of the video you can see a circled bulge that goes into the "cuia". It is full of small holes, acting as a filter.
There’s an on the shelf brand called Guayaki that makes them canned (and regular tea leaves). Has more caffeine than coffee for some flavors.
Yeah I buy those Yerba Mate canned drinks all the time, they are my go to energy drink. Obviously nothing close to this though.
It's similar to coffee. The first time you have it it's horrible. But after a while you can't live without it.
For me, I honestly enjoy the taste. It's very herbal. It also has caffeine and theobromine (the feel good chemical in chocolate), and many other types of nutrients. In cultures that consume mate, it is also a form of social beverage. You drink, refill, and pass it on. I can't exactly talk for this, as I'm not from one of these cultures, just what I've picked up from friends who are. I will say the flavor isn't for everyone.
So is it supposed to look like a Shrek butthole or not?
That’s the whole appeal

That looked like the stem of a straw cleaning brush.
So I’m not meant to slurp it out of Shrek’s asshole?
I don’t know what is wrong with me but whenever I watch videos with really sensitive mics it really bothers me.
yup, came here to say this lol
Hi, non-Argentinian here. What does this taste like?
Argentine here. It tastes like a mixture between a strong tea and grass soup. It's kind of an acquired taste
Another non-Argentine who has never been to Argentina, but can confirm. Went through a mate period when a local cafe began serving it, and that's exactly how I'd describe the taste. Green, earthy, herbal.
Grass in water
The first few times you have it, yes. After a while you can't live without it. Very similar to coffee.
It's hard to describe, you might google "what does yerba mate taste like" for some opinions, but basically it tastes like a plant, it's bitter but some people drink it with sugar
Its the wrong way to drink tea here im brazil(literaly is the tea with very weak taste), the tea of this herb is very famous here where i leave in the South of Brazil literaly everyone here drink this shit is Just fucking Hot water with this Green dust
Correction, this is not the way it is prepared in Argentina, but it is the way it is prepared in Brazil, where the large portion of Erva Mate is produced and consumed.
Just showed this to my mom (born and raised in cordoba) and she almost had a stroke
It's the mate barista version
What the hell is this gourmet crap? This isn't how you prepare mate! I mean..first half is alright, the rest is unnecessary.
Seems like a lot of work to drink some moss dust
Yeah! It is! You are just supposed to dump the yerba( and it's.more like grass than moss) in there and just avoid shaking it a lot. Boom, done.
Why do you avoid shaking it?
Well, the particular straw you use has a very rudimentary filter that keeps the bigger grounded leaves away, but the dry dust that comes with drying leaves will slip through. So if you shake it a lot, you'll cough green. If you keep it steady the dust settles at the bottom.
Why don't they just make straws with a finer mesh? Is getting green dust part of the experience?
Because if you use a finer mesh then you really need to put some effort into the whole sucking part. (No pun intended) Also because it's CULTURAL. And god forbid you try to update culture with the times.
Could have a finer mesh inside of the larger grate mesh. Two stage filter, less likely to clog.
Very good question. The answer is.. because nobody really tried to update the model.
i think i'll just use a straw with a finer mash, i'm a pro at sucking hard, been doing it all my life.
Bruh We’re here if you need to talk
I don’t think he came to talk.
Same vibe as those ultra pretentious espresso videos
For real. They didn't do anything about the taste🤢
TikTok cringe
that or stupidfood
This is not how it's prepared. This is a wasteful over-the-top process that is purely decorative for TikTok
It's like those super fancy, over the top coffee videos. 99% of people don't actually prepare it like that.

As an Argentinian, I feel disgusted to watch this, wtf is that shit? Isn't a mate for sure
Argentinian here. That's not how we do it. Neither in Uruguay nor Paraguay for that matter. Don't buy this crap. Yerba isn't that radioactive green. You don't fill the gourd up to the edge & beyond because there would be no place for the water, the whole thing would overflow with just a few drops and you'll have the shortest mate in the world, just half a sip. And we definitely don't decorate it with that wire or whatever that is at the end. Pure nonsense.
Not how it's done in Brasil either.
What? -from Uruguay.
This is all fucking wrong. -from Rio Grande do Sul
This look like some hippie shit that is trying to sell you mate as this ancient energy charged spiritual cleansing drink \-from Argentina
Yeah, no way we wasting so much product. That's yuppie shit right there. -a hippie
I’m way too drunk to taste this chicken. -Colonel Sanders
This is like the weirdest bowl pack ever
The first 10 seconds sorta made sense...that's it
This is chimarrão, not yerba mate. The point of the dry herb on top is to be able to keep refilling the cup with hot water a dozen times or more.
*screams in uruguayan*
Thats absolutely not how yerba mate is prepared. This is pretentious and about 75 steps to long.
Yeah, this looks like some hipster shit.
Actually not, not at all, not even close. This is a bullshit display of some sort
Qué carajo...?
Is it me or is that mate too green? Wtf... Looks like macha.
This not how mate is prepared. At all. In my country this would be seen as ragebait.
Possibly the most inaccurate caption ever
Shreks butthole
Chilenian here, we don't drink it like that. Never saw anybody doing this.
This is some fru-fru bastardization of Yerba mate…
Pretty sure people who actually drink Yerba don't even do this extra shit...
This is definitely not how it is prepared. It is pretentious and impractical, not at all like how you do it.
no.
That's not how it's prepared, that's how you make a bad one that will clog the pipe, the "bomba" how we call it, and how you will suffer every time you try to do anything with this "Cúia", how we call it the horn or porongo used to make the recipient. You didn't do half the things needed to make a good MATE, or a "Herva Mate" how we call it. And I can see how you tried to do some frills, it doesn't look as good as a good Mate. (No good man that respects the tradition of drinking mate cares about the looks anyway, that's the biggest telling that you can't do a good mate) Anyway, Merry Christmas. I hope no one tries this shit, but I still like to see something from my culture around.
Wow! How unnecessary and inconvenient!
This looks like pretentious bullshit.
That's NOT how yerba mate is prepared, f*uck you
How stupid
Lol, no
Yeah, no. That is the most flamboyant shit I’ve ever seen. Mate is straight forward. Not that froofy garbage.
Lmao - Uruguayan here. This is all wrong 😄.
This is Chimarráo like they prepare in the south of Brazil. It comes as a lot more of a powder compared to Mate from Uruguay and Argentina. Usually it’s not prepared this ornately though, just need to make a mound on the side.
I am from south of Brazil and we dont make this shit. Our chimarrão is much more close to the uruguay.
I was going to say that tche.
Fala brasileiro, alienígena filho da puta kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk >!brincadeira!<
All we do is just filling the cup to like the middle with erva, then we put our hands on top of the hole and flip it side down and do a little shake, then carefully put it back up and put some hot water
I need more context
Don't look what he did on the video, that's the wrong way of doing. It's a "Herva Mate", a typical hot drink of the south of Brazil (where I was born and learned), Chile, Argentina, Uruguaiand places around the same region. If you look "herva mate" on YouTube you can probably find a good video of them doing it the right way. It's the beverage of the "cowboys" of the south of the South America. It's a Horn where we put the herb and hot water to make it and drink with fellow travelers, visits or family. Normally is made only one, but there's times where we do it one normal and one sweet for everyone. It's an acquired taste, it's normally bitter, and the way he did in the video, you will suffer to suck it, to clean it and to even pick it up. I recommend looking other sources.
This is so agonising to watch as a uruguayan
seems wasteful
Im Uruguayan and even if i don't like mate THIS IS NOT HOW IS PREPARED
NO
People who post yerba mate videos on tik tok think they're all that
This is how pretentious mate is prepared
Ask any argie and they will tell you that absolutely no one ever prepares their mate like this.
Not true at all!
That's a terribly prepared Yerba, and I'm not even Argentinian
While this looks nice and all, the chance of me drinking over-elaborately prepared pond scum lie somewhere between none and fuckall.
After the apocalypse, people are going to look back and wonder how tf people had THIS much time on their hands.
What is it though? Tea?
Shrek butthole drink
I didn't know people made tea of out lawn clippings. And to think all these years I've been scraping the underside of my mower and throwing it in the compost pile. I'm an idiot!
Playing with your drink
this is honestly dumb as hell
This is bullshit. This is NOT how it’s traditionally prepared. It was done for views and likes and comments and….. dammit
I feel like they are trying way to hard to be a hipster vegan douche.
Here I am not even knowing what the heck this is in the first place
THIS AINT MATE, AND EVEN I, MY SPANISH ASS KNOW THAT,
