Title: Yerba Mate
Post by: Skywalker on June 13, 2006, 09:05:34 PM

Anyone else ever tried this Yerba Maté stuff?  Our VP gets this shit imported from Paraguay and has gotten me kinda hooked on it.  You put a bunch of the dried herb into the cup, fill it with boiling water, and then drink it from a little filter straw.  He's always walking around the office with the little sippy cup.  

It kinda gives you a crazy caffeine high but without getting all shaky and nervous and stuff.  It's also nice because you don't crash once it's out of your system.  Aparently it's also better for your body than caffeine.

Try it sometime!

Ha ha ha!  I guess I should have expected an insulting reply of this sort from someone.  I stand by my claim... Yerba Maté is good.

I've drank the cheap stuff, but like in a Nalgene bottle, just throw it in with some water.  It was a big hit amongst us granolas in the Ecotourism department.
