What is Yerba Mate? Yerba Mate Facts and More! 

No, thank YOU so much! It is so great to hear that these videos were able to help you. Kind words from people like you really help to keep us going when the work gets hard so I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. I really wish you and your wife all the best and let me know if there is anything we can do to help.

yes this is how a lot of people know it!

most South Americans drink I’m South American from Australia my famila always have iy

😂😂

Im glad you like it! Have you also tried Japanese green teas?

That one video that makes us knew this drink

Thank you so much! I'm happy to share this incredible drink with everyone. I am often hesitant to drift outside my area of expertise but I do like to talk other drinks I enjoy that are similar to tea and do as much research as I can. I appreciate you taking the time to add your thoughts on this, hopefully it helps others!

@@Nioteas "if you really wanna have fun" tf is wrong with you lol

I'm so glad you like it! The flavors are very different but many people that like matcha also like mate. Have you tried our matcha yet?

I'm very sorry I left you out :( I will have to make another yerba mate video with all these additions

yes! Thank you for that

when you drink caffeine from coffee for example, you tend to get very jittery, anxious and you can even crash later on in the day when the caffeine wears off. it appears this is not the case as much with matcha

you're welcome!

I'm so glad to hear you like it! I've been on and off yerba mate at different points throughout my life and while I am almost exclusively drinking green tea now, I have been thinking about switching it up and drinking a bombilla in the mornings. Hopefully I'll have some more yerba mate videos to share soon.

you're welcome!

That's what I do! I enjoy learning about other drinks from time to time but I mostly stick to my favorites. By the way, we have some great matcha sales going on right now and some of them will expire in 24 hours: nioteas.com/collections/matcha-powder-and-accessories

Just like Messi!

@@Nioteas haha amen!

🤡🤡🤡

That was unnecessary. No beverage is superior to another. And coffee and tea varies from region to region.

Hello! I'm Chilean... Where it's also a very popular drink. No, there's no problem other than the caffeine, just as drinking coffee before sleeping... So if you are ok with the energy boost... Go for it 😉

It depends on whether it is roasted or unroasted. The roasted ones can get a bit smoky while the unroasted is very strong on these vegetal notes but I would say a bit more astringent compared to a sencha for example

@@Nioteas Thank you!

They definitely have it some places! It is becoming pretty trendy in the US but it has been drunk in South America for a very long time

Try an Argentine store, they’ll have it there

Thank you so much!

I dont think so and unfortunately when you decaffeinate things it really decreases the flavor

Im so glad you like it!

if you add honey to it then you might as well add shit to it

​@@zaraiwzaraI will sugar your mate old man

what does that even mean?

@@Nioteas it's a threat

this is the gyokuro sasa Hime, a super sweet and savory green tea made by Mr. Sakamoto in Kagoshima: nioteas.com/products/gyokuro-sasa-hime

thank you for sharing

no it doesn't but this is a different type of herbal tea you can make

maybe teenagers are okay to have it. It does have a lot of caffeine

I'm sorry I missed it! I would love to visit these regions some day. Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina are high up on my list

Yea, I'm like what.? how could you not mention the country that consumed it the most. lol he's definitely have no idea what he's talking about

@@Nioteasstick to tea bro

we get it from a website that breaks it down by cultivar, picking, harvest etc. The mainstream caffeine numbers tend to be for low quality teas that are way lower in caffeine than some of the premium stuff

Im not familiar with that

I'm so glad you like it! We have plenty of other videos about Japanese green tea as well

Do you add Cinchona bark to make Jesuit Tea(bitter) that has gotten them through four Plandemics?

no I have not tried this yet

yes this is a good call. By the way, if you are interested in trying some of our teas we have our summer sales going on now: nioteas.com/

@@Nioteas im from argentina we have lots of teas but tx ☺️🫂

thank you

this was probably filmed before that

you don't like yerba mate?

this can happen maybe with the roasted variety. also there are studies that tried to blame the mate for throat cancer, but that's because some people drank it wrongly too hot, plus it's drunk in larger quantities than other hot beverages, so coffee and tea don't get the temperature-cancer mistake.

Yes I heard about this study and I believed the same thing, I think there was a mistake in how it was conducted

There are many studies. There is no definite proof yet, but there is evidence. The most damning ones are studies showing varying but often huge amount of PAH (class 1 carcinogen for humans) contamination. The smoke dried ones were the worst offenders, but the smoke free ones still were contaminated, possibly due to pollution in the region where it's grown. At least one study has shown similar amount of PAH metabolites in the urine of Mate drinkers who don't smoke as in smokers who don't drink Mate. Do with that information what you will. I love Mate, but I think there is reason to be careful. I think after reading the studies I'll avoid smoked mate in the future even if it does taste better. Also I'll try to cut back on the amount I drink.

@@jvbob96 The test was performed with water and it was concluded thus far that it was because of the temperature only, not because of some compounds found in the leaves.

Causes cancer 😅 guess I'll have some to drink people are stupid lol

they are called teas sometimes but they are technically not

While 'tea' is used to refer to herbal extractions of any kind in everyday language, only leaves derived from the *tea plant* are classified as 'tea' officially. Everything else is can be called a 'tisane'/'influsion'/etc. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with saying tea in reference to something like chamomile or mate in everyday conversation, but it's useful to have the terminology to distinguish anything produced by the camellia sinensis plant, especially in regards to buying tea or discussing its properties.

Yes what great PR for Yerba Mate!

yes exactly, just like chamomile: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rikYkyE3zto.html

could be a good idea. I don't think it is that difficult to prepare the proper way

the carcinogen effects comes from the burned leaves, it happens when you use boiling water and don't let it reach all the leaves. it produces small amounts of soot that are carcinogenic with cronic use. don't boil the water, or simply make it reach every leaf and you'll be fine. Boiling ruins the flavor anyway. The correlation with cancer was showed in persons that smoked and/or used Boiling water, and just after decades of exposure

Thank you, this is good to know

thank you for your comment

yes it is not technically

Definitely not! But if you are we wouldn't judge that either. Everyone can enjoy good tea

Well you seem pretty gay so I wouldn't worry either way I think you qualify

these are great thank you for sharing!

what do you mean?

I'll have to try and compare

These are natural products of Earth and no nation, which are political and ideological concepts created by humans, or race has a right to claim what is of Earth. These products existed before humans and will continue to do after humans unless human destructiveness destroys Earth altogether. Before being jingoistic and nationalistic, it is better to admire what Earth created and how humans can exchange the natural products of their ecosystems that they inhabit to coexist and be healthy.

Not a chance the Argentinian version is MUCH better only two states in brazil drink mate the rest of brazil like in Rio and Sao Paulo have no clue of it! Nice try!

I'll have to try both and compare!
