I understand that as you continue to drink with additional steeping, the flavor changes. It is also traditionally passed around and shared among friends. Each time water is added it brews a small amount of tea vs making a cup's worth. Mind you I'm not too knowledgeable of the tradition, but that's what I've gathered.

You can if you like. I do both

Can you link the study? The only link I can find is for consuming anything smoked, or drinking very hot water. Doesn't have to do with the yerba specifically.

You’re right! For this video, we used hot water, so it’s more like an iced mate. However, you can follow the same recipe for a true cold brew by steeping your yerba mate in cold water for about 6 to 10 hours! 🙌

@@mateinayerbamate so it’s faster to use hot water and pour it in ice rather than water hours for it to be ready 🫡

I believe he said 15 infusions. I normally do 500 cc up to 1 liter (as per my thermos) but you will eventually learn to notice: it will stop tasting like mate, it will be just warm water, and yerba will start to float around (we call that a Mate Lavado, washed down)

Right because it’s not like you’re already drinking dried leaves steeped in water or anything

Why would you even click on the video LOL..

Would putting honey in it be frowned upon? Or maybe mixing honey in the hot water so its already mixed?

i do that but i also dont do this french press thing either i drink it the white person way and just put a little in, no mountain but with gourd and bombilla. sometimes like a little honey water and sometimes a lil more mate leaves after some refills

nah! dont let em know your next move! pure hot water for me! maximum extraction! 😂

Every day as soon as i wake up. You will notice when is too much. You can change the yerba if you think is too soft.

Take your time 😊

It's available on our US website drinkmateina.com/

@mateinayerbamate Thank you🙏. I will be sure to buy my next pound from there. I'm surprised that when I looked it up the first time on Google that the top site was for Canada. 🤔

@@tankgirllovesroos The Canada E-commerce has been our main stie for years, we just launched in the US, so it is normal that the Canadian site comes up first. But even if you click on the CAD Site, you will get redirected to the US site. 🙌

@mateinayerbamate it didn't redirect me. Gibing you a heads up from a fellow business owner. Also, thanks for itching my scratch of wanting to know why. Lol.

its not tea

🤓☝️

Its worth it

It's garbage water

@@JohnRamos-v3t but why is it worth it? what is the benefit of doing it this way?

If You let it without puting new hot water regularly, the yerba gets cold and it gets ruined.

same 😂

Why a heart attack? Strong caffeine hit?

@@gboof no it‘s the horrible taste after 3 hours that will give you a heart attack hahah. I love the mate taste but after 3 hours its truly disgusting

@@gboof nah its like drinking a swamp water with a hint of frog poo and a dash of armpit sweat, with notes of dehydrated fish guts boiled in sewer. Flavors you didnt know existed all together.

How many brews can you get from the leaves before you toss them?

Great question! Based on our experience, consuming 5-6 gourds (cups) of yerba mate starts to yield noticeable effects. With approximately 50g of yerba mate (equivalent to 200-250mg of caffeine) in a gourd that you can infuse up to 15 times, it's feasible to drink these 15 infusions in one morning or afternoon. Consider that a fully infused gourd is equivalent to approximately +/- 1.5-2 coffees. However, it's crucial to note that the combination of caffeine with Theobromine, Theophylline, and antioxidants often produces a different sensation compared to coffee alone. Therefore, it's essential to be mindful of your personal tolerance levels. Begin by infusing your mate 5-6 times in a short timeframe and observe how your body reacts!

According to Yerba Mate Labs channel the blackening is natural, even desirable. Mold is fuzzy and can be removed. It just sounds like your gourd is seasoned. Check his channel and blog for more info. He's also pretty good at responding to comments.

Add olive oil every once in a while and wipe the inside and out. Your good to leave the herb in for 24 hours to Season the gourd.

What do you mean by 'awhile'? You shouldn't leave used yerba mate in the gourd when you are not drinking or over night. When you finish drinking, toss the yerba and rinse the Mate (gourd) with water and set it to dry.

You should fill any container/gourd a little bit more than 3/4. Making sure you pour the water at the sane exact spot, leaving some leaves dry through the first few pours! 🧉

@@mateinayerbamate awesome! Thank you!

Hey! When adding water to the gourd, fill it almost to the top each time. Since you're pouring water into the same spot repeatedly, some leaves at the top may remain dry. To ensure even hydration, shift the pouring spot slightly towards these dry leaves with each refill. This method allows the top leaves to stay dry for approximately 4-5 refills, though the exact number can vary based on your refill frequency.

@@mateinayerbamate thank you so much, today I have prepared my first mate by your video and the result was fenomenal!! Thank you!!!!

Thanks 🔥

Hey! Never late to the game. You can refill as much as you want. The Yerba Mate will be less strong each time you refill.

you keep on refilling water until it no longer gains taste from the leaves, and just tastes like regular hot water

Is adding Lemon a good idea?

@@shahidalakhani9486 some people add other herbs, you could try adding tiny lemon peels, mint leaves, and others.
