Hello CW!
I want to share my tiny mate.
It is a souvenir of my country that I have since years ago.
Made in lead, only has 4 cm.
"Mate" its a tea, an infusion made with yerba mate and boiling water.
Its our tradition, also in Argentina and part of Brazil people sip mate.
With love,
Virginia

I love it! I love tea, I drink 3 cups a day :)
Nice!! Im too! I sip mate every mornings with some cookies, its tasty!!
I will have to pick up some yerba mate and try : )
Yes, belive me its tasty! At first maybe you feel it a little strong but with the time you will love it! :)
Thanks so much for the love aghcollect!
Many thanks Kerry for stop and love!!
Thanks so much racer4four for your love!!
Many thanks musikchoo, glad you like it my mate!
Have caffeine or something else more interesting? I live in St. Maarten/St. Martin & never heard of it. It's exported? I'll look for it. Is there a brand name to look for? I drink iced tea all day & would like something to break the monotony.
Yes, its like tea nutsabotas6, really good!!
Thanks for your love!
My fav is black tea with sugar and milk :)
Hi blunderbuss, yes has caffeine on it for this reason you can feel an stimulating effect when you sip it.
Yerba born from a tree and the leaves are processed, crushed. You can find many types of yerba, soft, classic, more strong, mixed with digestive herbs, with flavors like lemon.
The sale of yerba its free and yes its exported. Im safe you will like it and as you said its good break the monotony :)
Lol Jewels, its a little strong really? :)
blunderbuss, brands are many for example "Canarias", "El Cebador", "Armiño", "Nobleza Gaucha", "Cabral" and more! :)
Many thanks for the love pops52!!
Oh yes, of course, because the picture its an ornament :)
Tomorrow I will try to do a photo of the real mate and I will share it :)
Thanks so much eyeabeauty!
It's an ornament! Ahhh! Okay, I was just reading about preparing yerba mate, very interesting!
You're very welcome Virginia, always enjoy looking at your posts!
Yes its at small vintage ornament Jewels, has 4cm, really tiny :)
I know that in U.S.A you can buy yerba mate too!
Yes, its very special do the mate :)
So glad to hear you kind words pops52, thanks so much!!! :)
Oh nice eye4beauty, are you ready for a mate? :)
Thanks again!!
Put all those brands on my shopping list Virginia & we have a broad selection of inter'nat'l products here. Looking forward to trying it.
And eye4, you've been around me too long! You are picking up patois but don't know how your pronunciation is? Course "I ain't got no ax-sent either" when I speak it! How about papiamento? Poco poco!
It looks like you can make it in a French press--Bonus
Nice!!! Good luck blunderbuss2, you will like it! Of course, at first will be strong, slowly ok? :)
Jaja, yesss!!! You so funny Jewels ;)

Thanks pops, we are learning here :)
Iced is great! Sweetened or unsweetened? Depends on where you're from right?
Virginia. Yes dear! Certainly dear! What ever you say dear! See how well trained I am! I admit that some mornings it's a different story. What kind of worries me is, I'm forgetting how to spell in English & spend a lot of time on Bing! Bon nuit.
Your not southern I take it eye? :)
*You're
:) Yeah, I have lived in all regions, but love sweet tea!
Eye4, U a lot a truble! OK, I tried to find my Nat'l Graphic pic & didn't have in a file that I could find. Thanks. I thought I had it. Had to take a pic & now will poste as my profile pic.. Feb. 1981 issue. The bulge in the front of the (borrowed) bathing suit is a pair of socks. Woke up with a hangover & don't think it was either of the 2 girls in the pic.. My sister sent this to me later.
Is that you?
Yep! In '81. Not much left now & when I renew my drivers lic., they don't ask if I want to be an organ donor. (just had to Bing spelling of donor!!). Been gone too long! I have to put 2 pairs of socks in my shorts now. LMAO!!
Haha! Really great photo!
I'm afraid I got my replies confused with another poste, but both seem to be flying along fine. I've found that this happens more & more often these days!
Could have sworn my front door was in a diff. place! Oh, well there's beer in their fridge! LOL
HAHA you're funny, that's okay, I joined into the confusion--I can do that, I roll
Jewels, define "roll". I may be getting "up in years", but not dead! I'm going to ck on this drink as soon as I wake tomorrow. They should be open by 10:AM!
HAHA! Roll, you know, roll with it :)
You got me so excited (well, half way) that I counted my Cialis tabs. Well, at least I have an accurate count now. 117 should suffice till my birth certificate expires! LOL
BHAHAH!
http://guayaki.com/about/2481/The-Guayaki-Mate-Bar.html HELLO VV! I buy and drink also! We have a cafe 12 minutes from my house! not too expensive either!!
Good morning!! Thanks so much pops52 for your link, its excellent!
To eye4beauty, dont chew it or smoke, yerba its just to do a mate, you can sip it with sugar or not.
Yerba mate isnt marihuana.
Hope you understand, enjoy the mate :)
To blunderbuss2, I wish you can find the yerba where you live and I wish too you can enjoy the taste of this infussion.
I told you take care because all people when start to drink mate said "oh, this is so stronger", maybe can make bad to your stomach, for this reason I wrote you "slowly",, can understand, hope that yes. Good luck!! :)
Jewels you really are my friend!!! lol! :)
Thanks so much amiga!!!
Thankssssss sooo muchhh dear toracat, your link its fantastic, perfect video! :)
I think this cafe its an adorable place, enjoy the mate my friend! :)
Thanks so much ho2cultcha for the love!!
Many and many thanks for the love to shawnicus, vetreio50 and geo26e!!
Many thanks for the love Sean!!
HAHA no problem amiga!
You are amazing Jewels! :)
Many thanks for the love Trey!! :)
Many thanks gargoylecollector!!
Only had time to hit 1 market today but know I've seen the name yerba somewhere.
Eye4, what are we going to do with you?! I have seen it in large letters in markets (marche's or grocery stores to U probably). I WILL find it,-- I think. We have people here from everywhere & the only thing I can't find is limed masa harina for corn tortillas! LOL+
We must be in different time zones eye4. No sleep, not much humour in the mornings! Gute nacht!
Virginia, I noticed you changed your picture as well--a very lovely pic of you!
Ohh, many thankssss amiga! :)
Was in summer comming from the beach.
You too changed your pic and the new its adorable too, with your beauty pincess!
Who are the lovely children with you?
Love your photos!!
Thank you much Virginia! These little cuties are from a school where I volunteered
This is lovely Jewels, you are so kind!
Thank you, you as well =)
Found yerba mate yesterday & tried it this morning. OK but don't think it will be permanent in my routine. Expensive here too.
On nice blunderbuss2!! Welcome to the world of "mate" :)
Yes, so true, isnt so cheap also here the same.
How people love mate for this lands the owners of these companies raise the price frequently.
With the pass of time, the body need the yerba benefits and belive me isnt so easy stop once you start with the mate routine.
It would be better if it tasted like my 1 vice. Beer.
Wow!! This taste will be a good idea :))
Thanks so much for your love Agram.m!!
Well Virginia, the box has 16 tea bags, so we will see. I tried it 1st before my usual iced tea today. No "out of body" experiences or anything like that. Just the usual virtual reality that I usually live with. I'm not a coffee drinker & wondering if that affects it? LOL! Maybe it's just not as strong as my natural high. Luckily, I found out long ago, that I don't need drugs! Guess I like myself too much the way I am. Now, that's a scary thought!
Oh, can understand blunderbuss, agree with you.
I dont like me the coffe, lol! Yes I drink tea sometimes.
Im a mate drinker :) Im not use tea bags, I use the yerba into a mate with the "bombilla", and the hot water into a Thermo.
I have many years drinking mate but I do it just in the mornings, here people can sip mate all day. As you I dont need drugs but I think this type of healthy infussions are like adictives. lol!
Sorry eye4beauty, dont did the pic! :(
I will post it.
Isnt a cup, its called "mate" made from a "calabaza".
Can be too a mate made of tin, older mates were made in silver, called "mates isabelinos"with many ornaments, great pieces.
Hi eye, the pic is an ornament of the gourd or bombilla used to steep the yerba mate
Also older mates were made in porcelain too, really wonderful.
Excellent my friend!! :)
Calabaza=gourd :)
Thank you! =)))))
Actually Virginia, I can get it loose or in bags, but my "tea-egg" is used for moringa leaves right now in my tea. I'll just have to try it some more and see (16 tea bags). $7.+. Better be good!
Oh, very expensive!!!! I will search about moringa leaves.
Thanks blunderbuss!
Sipping at a cup right now. Better today.
To ttomtucker and tom thanks so much for the love!!!!
Thanks so much Sean for the love! :)
Many thanks Pat for the love! :)
Wow, this is really interesting :D !!
Yes, it is :) Thanks so much zeteibao for the love!!
Virginia, I'll be honest. It didn't turn me on & I found little taste which made me wonder why it got popular?
Yes, I can understand you blunder :)
When tourist come here sometimes they said the same!
I think that isnt easy find the mate interesting in a short time, you need take your time, you need feel the body and mind necessity of drink it and Im safe this is in a long time.
Since old times people used the yerba mate to feel better, to feel power, to can work hard just with this infussion, maybe for this its become popular, a "cheap food", sad but true.
Thanks so much for your love toolate!
Thanks so much friend for the love!! Im sipping mate now, lol! :)
Lol! I have already loved all your items! :) so I reloved! ;) Ahh green tea for me!
You are a sweetie pie! :)
Yes, green tea sound very healthy too! ;)
This is really cute! Wow, you got a lot of response for this one ;) Nice!
Yes it is share ;) and tasty as well :)
So true, the little mate was very popular, lol!
Many thanks for your love and comment, I send you a mate now :)
Very nice indeed, I'm a Australian & I noticed you love the word mate not being mean far from that more trying to help but the word can be over used, the first mate was fine the other 3 seem a bit out of place. If you wanted to use the word again you could of signed off thanks for looking mate that would sound a lot better. Don't forget please I'm not being mean that's not my nature I'm just trying to help you get a better grip on the word. It would be the same if I was learning your language & got it wrong I would appreciated it if I was told so please do not be offended. Have a great & safe day.
