Having fun preparing Chimarrão (Erva Maté)

I have this love/hate relationshp with beverage art, usually it's so pretty I don't want to drink it XD

I didn't think you did too badly with that square XP And those bamboo cups are awesome! Maybe you should sell some? XD

The difference is that this art is “permanent”, it stays all day long between drinks. You just keep topping up water until you cannot extract any flavour from the tea powder and have to collapse the art.
I have been thinking of selling some. Will see

Oh what fun!
I have never seen that designing with Chimarrão - marvelous!
Cool purple bamboo cups you made! What did you do for the bottoms? Is there a natural closed section at each joint?
Thanks so much for sharing!

Yes, the bamboo culm is made of sections and each section is sealed. You just cut underneath the seal. I might make a video soon.

So cool. I love those bamboo cups!! Bamboo is amazing. I've not really got into mate - I wasn't keen on the taste. @mrprofessor will tell you all about it, being a mad keen brazillian that he is!

Which mate did you try? The brownish Argentinian one or the bright green Brazilian one? Their tastes are totally different.

Remember me to pack Mate when we finally meet @riverflows!

@quochuy, I'm from the south of Brazil, we drink the more greenish one, but we also have the stronger brownish too, it's generally a personal choice for us when we buy. It's generally served in a simple way without designs - those designs we call it something only people from the city do, not at all a thing from country people.

The coolest thing about Mate is that is has a bunch of benefits for our health, plus the whole social contest of it when it comes to sharing Mate while having a conversation, it's almost a rule to offer a Mate when you are drinking it and someone approaches to talk.

Oh I see. Also doing the designs use more Mate than doing simple one. So I o my do it from time to time for fun.

I like the social aspect of the drink.

This looks amazing! Both the bamboo cups and the mate
Was reading through the comments and keep reading mate ( like 'friend ) and then I realized people referred to the drink, haha
I know you pronounce it differently though.
I have only ever taste so called Club Mate ( which is considered a hipster drink in Europe ) but this looks awesome. Can't help but think that it makes you cough when you drink it though. Guess that's why you need the straw, to drink the liguid underneath ;>)

Hahahaha. I know hey, the funny thing is that the Mate is also called the drink of friendship because you usually share the same cup and straw between a group of people (friends or soon to become friends).

You definitely will cough drinking the Chimarrao (Brazilian Mate) if you don't prepare it right and the very fine cut leaves get through the filter. It happened to me a few of times when I started learning how to prepare one.

Awesome! :>)

This just made me realize that we have an expression in Dutch ( when it comes to alcohol consumption: "Geniet maar drink met mate." meaning "Enjoy it but drink moderately". There's a funny alternative to it "Geniet maar drink met je maten" which translates to: "Enjoy but drink with your buddies".

Coughing or not it still sounds better and way healthier than the crazy "cinnamon challenge"

See you around! :>)
