playadito yerba mate

Produced in Argentina, a colleague of mine bought some and hasn’t finished it yet. They said Messi and the Latin American writer Borges drink it, so it became popular in a small circle for a while. Exotic yerba mate — available in three flavors: original, white peach, and jasmine. Since tonight’s meal was rather greasy, I quickly made a cup of jasmine yerba mate. The taste is quite similar to green tea.

As a yerba mate with over 400 years of history, its consumption is completely different from traditional Eastern tea drinking. In the traditional Argentine way of drinking, whether it's the water temperature, the teaware used, or the method of drinking, there are many particularities. Come experience the unique PLAYADITO yerba mate culture!!
