Mendocino here (live in the US but visit Mendoza every few years). There are plenty of places one can go for coffee, but American-style coffee shops are not nearly as popular. Mate shops aren't a thing, but it isn't homebrew in the sense that people don't grow their favorite varieties of yerba mate plants in the back yard. You get a bag of yerba at the supermarket, have a thermos with hot water, and a gourd & bombilla. People drink it with friends, but, like coffee, it's also something they drink throughout the day by themselves while working, studying, etc.
- biztos 9y ago> something they drink throughout the day Do people there consider the downsides of using stimulants all day long? Not that most people elsewhere give it any thought, I'm just curious.
- VVyattPrentice 9y agoIs there anything akinto different flavours? Or brand differences? Is it like people and cigarettes? Like Brand X is your brand ornate and you'd rather die than have to drink brand Y? Is there such a thing like a sommelier for mate? Maybe like wine: "I detect notes of lavender...." This is incredibly interesting!
