Yerba bros, how do you like your mate? For me? It's traditional or nothing.

And the crazy part is you can make it in a french press and it's the exact same thing.

It would behoove you to use a more traditional Yerba vessel.

I make it in a French press, then pour it out into a regular cup. But yeah shits good, I like the buzz it gives you better than coffee. It has a ton of stimulant chemicals in it besides caffeine, some of which the scientists don't even know what they are.

Have you ever tried guayusa? It's a different species of caffeinated holly with even more shit in it and an even weirder taste

A few times, but it's nowhere near as established a drink as yerba and it's hard to find information online. Not sure what you're supposed to do with it.
I'm come to enjoy pic related, another holly, but it's way more bitter than yerba and I wouldn't recommend it to many people.

Does the insanely autistic preparation method actually do anything? I just make it like tea (lower temperature though) and its pretty good.

The whole point of the gourd is you're supposed to pass it around a group. think hookah but without COPD

Why does everything think the traditional gourd setup is a dealbreaker? The gear is extremely cheap compared to coffee or even tea gear, and piss-easy to use.

Ok good - there are some places on the internet that go full on
