Been drink Maté for the past month as a weekend activity. Particularly the playadito brand. Holy fuck it gets me so geeked up. I drink espresso every morning for 15 years and holy shit mate just gets me sooo spun its kinda crazy.
Gayest thread on the board right now, and that's really saying something
>>21694889Do you need the maté drink thing?
>>21695015Not necessarily, the straw is kinda peculiar because it is a steel straw with perforated holes on the side that goes into the cup which is called a gourd but the cup you can improvise
>>21694889got myself ~3kg and drank it over like half a year almost daily, developed gut problemsthe effect is nice, its better than coffee because i dont get shakey but if i overdo it my heart starts to race and sometimes my face gets hot as fuck (i swear theyre mixing some coke in this lol)
>>21694889You’re gay and I feel bad for you
>>21695102Maté helps my butthole loosen
>>21695083The diuretic effect was too much for me.
You can just put it in loose leaf tea bags and skip the gay ass unhygienic straw.
fun fact, most of those mate gourd things have lead solder in them
>>21695236I have a stainless steel one since my wooden one grew mold after a few weeks like they usually do
>>21694889meme drink
>>21695435It is pretty much a meme drink. Im American and live in the USA and I find the drink very cumbersome for what it is. You need a special cup, a straw, and a thermos of hot water. So it’s too inconvenient to drive around with it or take it anywhere, but argentinians and ppl in Uruguay (whatever they’re called) carry that shit around to the park and work and school and wherever because they love it so much
>>21695435I used to make large batches of steeped mate and drink it throughout the day. It definitely has a stronger effect than coffee or tea. Doing the gourd thing would have been silly.
>>21695475It's insane to me how americans allow themselves to be worked to the bone like that. Every other country on earth has people that are allowed to be relaxed, practice culture, and spend time, energy and money doing silly things like carrying hot water and a gourd around. Americans are more wired than north koreans that are in front of their supreme leader.
Espresso has less caffeine than regular-brewed coffee so I wouldn't be surprised if mate has more caffeine than espresso.
>>21695547Espresso IS regular brewed coffee, retard.
>>21694889Redd!t's that way fag...
>>21695475>whatever they’re calledOPs
>>21695475>whatever they’re calledUruguayANOs
I used to hate it when I was a kid because I always saw my parents and my uncles and grandparents drinking it, but now I've come to appreciate it. I even being it to the park with me sometimes. It's really good to drink it early in the morning
>>21695425you are supposed to cure them, when new fill them with cheap whisky for at least a week, maybe look for a curing guide online
>>21695492Americans will literally enslave 4 year olds for life rather than have a minor inconvenience wtf do you mean
I use a silicone gourd.No need to cure it or worry about mold - just pop it in the dishwasher and you're done.10/10 would recommend.
>>21700480I hate your guts
>>21694889It's a drink for brown people and pretentious faggots.I tastes like horse piss.No, it doesn't work different/better than coffee, you're just overdosing on caffeine.And fuck you for dumping your spent weed in public sinks or toilets.
>>21700531>I tastes like horse piss.What a curious thing to say...
>>21694889Have a box I got from a Brazilian market a few months ago and dumped some white chocolate chips in it to take the piss. It was quite good>captcha: V4P00
>>21700499Blow it out your ass.A true gaucho values his time.
>>21695015the cup is not necessary. the "bombilla" straw is useful though
