Yerba Mate journey begins! Just got my starter pack kit and waiting for my Playadito to arrive next week. Chose this Argentinian brand since it’s recommended for total newbies like me. Excited to give it a try—any tips for a first-timer? Also, how long before I start playing like Messi ? Asking for a friend… 🤣

In Argentina everyone walks around with mates and thermos’ of hot water 😂😭

Brazil too? Or am I confused?

Yes I believe it is.

Just wanted to double check as it was Brazilians (I think) that I first saw with the spoon setup thing. I like it

As far as I am aware it’s an Uruguay and Argentina thing mostly but I’ve never been to Brazil so no solid intel

The only time I’ve seen someone drink this was a couple of weeks ago on the beach in Miami—probably Argentinian tourists. I’m planing to be bring the mate to the office, and I can already picture the reactions… 🤣

Dude you’re a cultural node 🤣

Muy bien! In Argentina multiple people I had just met (one at the cambia even🤣) shared their mate with me 😭 I loved that country and all the beautiful people there.

Me alegro 😊😊
