As for the Yerba Mate, I've seen it at tea shops and in brochures before but have never tried it. Can you tell me a little about it? I usualy like med, to strong teas. Green teas are my favorite because they are not fermented. My least favorite is Oolong. |
Great, I like truces. It's the only possible relation between different genders. The only nasty thing that I felt I did was mixing up the shaman in it, otherwise ...
Wife and me drink Green Tea decaffeinated and MWaved. But we have a wide range of all sort of teas for guests. If I buy tea leaves I buy black.
Yerba Mate is a very beneficial concoction that they drink in those fancy bowls from metal straws. Did you see the movie Tango? Eh. that kind of world. They are macho, so the man expects that the instant he arrives at home the thing is handed to him (with a curtsy) and replenished continuously.
I met a shop holder that just spoke through it and did not take it away from his mouth for the whole 1/2 hour we were in the shop. I saw some of them going around with the straw in the brest pocket of their shirt together with the pens. Funny guys. Macho as they come.
I had it and enjoyed when I was with them, but at home it just wasted away in the cupboard. May be you want to impress some of your lady friends and the yerba mate could be a trick. I would just receive them sucking from the bowl like it was the most natural thing and then not mentioning it, like you were an Argentinian. Then when one of them asks, you start with your prepared spiel and count the number of open mouths. The difficult thing is the metal straw that cannot be improvised, while the bowl can be obtained from a coconut shell, after some little shaving. But if you saw it there would not be any problem. You might like it enormouslu and then you could get a fancy bombilla. one with a silver puma, or an eagle, or worst. Any bio thing will carry the yerba mate. One uses a lot so the package goes fast.
Ciao. is this reasonably truced?
