You fill the cup with "Yerba mate", its something like tea leaves, but it consists on various parts of the plant (leaves, small branches, etc, hence the filter).
Then you pour hot water (usually the best water temperature for mate is around 85°C) and you drink.

One day I am going to try it the way pro (the ingenious people like you

) do it.
I am very curious.
A cup of delicious Assam Hattialli.
