    Watched this yesterday and after a 90 minute walk this morning opened a packet I bought a month ago but hadn't worked out how to use. Made some in a tin camping cup, probably got everything slightly wrong, but wow, two quick cups and I felt the tiredness go, and happy. Now I am sitting planning out where I can quickly get all I need to carry some with me every day. And going to buy a couple more bombillas up the road so I can share it too.
    This is great stuff, one cup magic.

    Hey there Dave! I've been watching your videos and It's good to see more people around the world embracing the healthy mate habit and also promoting it. I usually drink canarias but a few months ago I came across Barão de Cotegipe Tipo Uruguay (A brazilian brand supposedly made for the uruguayan market, to me it tastes much lighter than canarias but still very good and has a good cost/benefit here in Brazil. Maybe you could do a review on Barão tipo Uruguay. Thanks!

    • @kellergzsi
      @kellergzsi Před 2 lety

      Hey I might be late with this reply, but it really depends on the type/brand of mate you drink. Some have a longer cycle length (i.e. Cruz De Malta), and others have shorter (Pajarito). It's worth reading up on the mate you drink to figure out how much you can get out of it. I believe Dave also made a video about cycle lengths, do check that out, too!

    Can I use a regular travel mug as a gourd for yerba mate? For example I wake up in the morning, prepare yerba in travel mug, do couple of cycles, then close the mug with its lid and take it with me to work, where I open the lid and continue to drink. Traditional gourds and calabash seems not very suited for transportation once they are filled with yerba

    I have seen studies on yerba mate saying that it causes cancer of the mouth, esophagus, or lungs even. What are your thoughts about this? It says it might be linked to the temperature of brewing. Any recommendations? I just bought some and enjoyed the taste. I would like to keep drinking it.

    • @Circleofdrink
      @Circleofdrink  Před 5 lety +2

      Stefanie Croson Glad you found mate. Well, there aren’t any studies conclusively linking mate to cancer. Those studies you may be referring to were of already-sick people drinking very hot mate. It’s more of a heat rather than medium (material) issue, as with drinking any hot liquid increases susceptibility of esophagitis (from thermal damage to the throat). Please read our article circleofdrink.com for the most recent studies on this issue.

    • @mmg7167
      @mmg7167 Před 11 měsíci

      It is false, if that were the case, the cases of cancer of the mouth and esophagus in Argentina would be very high and it is not so, this type of cancer associated with the consumption of mate is very rare. I am Argentine, I write from Buenos Aires.

      you throw yerba when is "washed" ( lavada in spanish). washed yerba is when you pour a mate and the leaves sunk and the stems float. is like a tea bag used too much.
      normaly yerba may endure 10 to 12 rounds or "cebadas" before washing it. then you throw all the yerba, leaving nothing in the mate and do it all again... if you drink alone you can be hours with out washin the yerba
