Yea it's pretty good! Not everyone likes it, same as coffee and tea. It has its own herbal taste distinct from tea, but is closer to tea than coffee. I have it every once in a while, but have never had it the traditional way as shown in the image above, just the bottled stuff.
TIL mate is sold bottled.... mixed feelings about this
Yea I'm aware that that's not a good version of it, haha.
Chimarrão is quite different than the mate tea and there's a version that you drink with cold water.
I dislike every version of it.
Even with cold juice? My spouse struggles to drink regular mate but they love tereré
I tried to drink mate to cut down the coffee and it's taste like weak diluted coffee. Drinking with lemon or orange was okay but I prefer to just drink lemonade. But I don't like bitter stuff anyway, I drink coffee with sugar and milk.
Hahaha, fair! I'll have to try it one day!
If you enjoy it then, go for it
I do, would just be nice to try the real deal someday!
If you're ever in Argentina I can prepare some for you!
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!
