No. Is it better than coffee? Where would an amerilard such as myself cop such a device and whomst sells loose yerba mate leaves?

>>12787135
I keep a case of pic related in my office, perfect for beating the afternoon slump on days when it's too hot for coffee.

Pro-tip: Put in a splash of herb liquor in the evening

>>12787135
It looks like you're drinking from a used ashtray.

You probably also smoke weed you hippie faggot.

>>12787170
Looks like it to me.

>Is it better than coffee?
It's different taste/experience wise, but gives you lots of energy, makes you piss a lot and kills appetite.

It's also a social activity. People get round and drink it while talking for hours and hours.

eBay has the supplies if you can't find it in a physical store (hippies may sell).

What's with that lead paint based mug

Mate just tastes like shitty, bitter green tea.

>>12787135
Doesn't it give you kidney problems and cancer?

>>12789259
What lead paint?

>>12789275
There have been studies, but inconclusive. Some people drink it really, really hot, and that can be the cause of esophageal cancer.

Takes some time getting used to.

As a gaúcho, I feel personally offended by that mate you made.

Nigga, you are supposed to keep one side with yearba and only the other side with the hot water that you will refill.

>>12789542
I'm a beginner at this, nigga.

plz no bully

>>12789600
You know what, Now is almost midnight and Im going to bed.
If this thread is up tomorrow, I will make a mate, take pics, and post here to help you out.

Just a warning, it takes a few minutes to get prepared since the "wall" or yerba that you will make with water needs time to form.

>>12787135

Literally looks like puke and spinach dip. Fix your life.

>>12787135
are you suppose to drink all of that? like the shit thats floating on the top?

if not, why not just skim it off?

>>12789680
no, there's a filter at the bottom of the bombilla, so only the "tea" gets drunk, then you fill again and so on

>>12789624
thanks

>>12789633
I'm learning.

His life isn't in trouble because some retard is reminded of vegetables when seeing a drink and getting triggered by it.

I fell for the meme years ago and it's shit. You'd have to grow up starved of oxygen from the 'buenos' aires of argentina to think that shit is good.

>>12787135
Sorry, I'm not a South American.

does yerba mate have actual health benefits?

or is it just all made up stuff poor people came up with just so they can get everyone to drink whatever plants and shit grew around them?

>>12787135
shooo!

>>12789733
>drinking mate makes you a communist
Just how much of a literal idiot are you?

>>12789732
it does, has caffeine, gives you energy, it's diuretic, diminishes appetite.

>>12789726
Come fly with me, let's fly away.

>>12787135
Yerba mate is like green tea that causes cancer instead of preventing it and makes you feel overstimulated like coffee but without tasting good like coffee does

Absolutely the worst caffeinated beverage

>>12789743
that's because you are a tasteless pleb

>>12789740
>diminishes appetite
yeah nah. not falling for that shit.
ive drank a ton of different things that claim that and i still feel like eating a donut throughout the day.

>>12789754
It is in fact exactly because I am tasteful, that I reject said yerba mate

I've been drinking republic of tea plain matcha or the apple mint one every morning for about 5 months now. I usually use 3 bags. I feel like I get the energy of coffee but no jjitters. There were some weird growths on my neck that have started shrinking or just disappeared. Not sure if the tea is the reason but I'm converted.

>>12787977
are you retarded?

Damn, I must admit I didn't thought /ck/ was like this.

Just came here because I saw the pic of Yearba Mate in front page and was curious, but fuck, you guys are more toxic towards OP than /pol/.

At least in /pol/, if you hate jews and blacks, you are welcome. You would think that someone that brings a new food or drink to the table to /ck/ would be welcomed too but the anons here are boderline agressive.

Chill, is just a drink. And OP just want help. No need to be so fresh down there.

Reflection on the bomba m80, watch out for that.
That aside, it's already looking way better. Good job.

I really like Yerba and drink it pretty regularly. I just use a big ass fuck mug and a metal filter straw. Put in a couple spoons of Yerba, pour in cold water (Enough to coat the leaves) and let it sit for a bit then pour in hot (Not boiling) water until the mug is full and drink. Doing cold and then hot water makes it taste way less earthy and bitter than just dumping boiling water onto the leaves.

Also in terms of health benefits the main things other than the trace vitamins and minerals that any tea leaves might have is that it has a fair bit of Caffeine (80-100mg vs coffee being 120-150mg per cup). Theobromine which I believe is also found in chocolate and is a vasodilator and Theopyline which relaxes your bronchial muscles. Basically supposedly it's supposed to make it easier for you to take deeper breaths and blood travels more easily in your body.

I will say the 'effect' of the caffeine is much better than coffee in that when it goes away it's smooth and slow rather than suddenly hitting the caffeine half life in coffee or energy drinks. That might just be the combination of Xanthines of Caffeine and the two Theo's that do that but idk.

Pros:
1. It's super cheap. It's supposedly like $2 per kg in South America but you can buy it off Amazon or yerba websites for like $12/kg which unless you're buying cheapest coffee possible is pretty competitive.
2. I honestly really like the feeling of the caffeine vs anything else. It's not like mind blowing but it's much more relaxing and focusing than jittery which coffee and especially energy drinks/shots do for me

Cons:
1. If you use a lot and don't steep in medium/cold water before pouring in hot water it can be pretty gross and hard to drink. Really just gotta not make the water too hot, if it's boiling it's way too hot.
2. It molds super fast. I basically need to clean out my mug every day which isn't a big deal but coffee seems to have no issues being brewed in a machine that gets cleaned.
