What is mate?

Travel Tips
yerba mate is an herbal tea drank in Argentina. To drink mate is an art. Mostly, this is a daily ritual among family and friends.

The process is the following:
A pot with water is placed on the stove to boil
A gurd is filled with the mate and a bit of sugar is added. A "bombillo", a straw-like gadget is place inside of the gurd. Then, the boiling water is added and the "mate" is offered to all the people in the room. Each one will take a turn at sipping the tea from the gurd.

Foreigners may find this practice a bit unusual since every one sips the mate from the same "bombillo." However, this tradition has been going on for several centuries. Source(s): personal experience
