I take my mate amargo, sucked from the gourd. More fuerza to the brew than what's in those cans. Not that flavored mate is unknown at all, even in the half kilo bag.

Half(ish) full of la yerba out of the bag (looks like chopped alfalfa), wet down with cool water, then infused using justlukewarm water. It is mate manners to drink the first, potentially bitter, gourdful yourself before infusing the next one for your guest. Very gradually, mixing cool water with hot, increase the infusing temperature with each succeeding gourdful. Your mate is giving its best flavor when a little greenish foam is visible on top; foamless is pretty much spent, recharge your gourd with fresh yerba.

Some brands/blends include stems and twiglets -- these add a bit of something. Kind of bori-cha.

You do need the bombilla to drink with; it has a bulbous strainer, whence its name.

The wife says when I'm wearing rumpled khaki shorts of a summer day and drinking a gourdful that it makes me look like a rather demented planter of some interesting South American crop.

Honest Tea...Moroccan mint flavor.

(I'm not much of a drinker anymore...I can count how many drinks I've had on one hand this year.)

Viña Santa Rita Pinot Noir Aconcagua Valley 120 2015 [CHILE]. $8 on sale for $6. I don't usually bother with inexpensive Pinot Noirs 'cause they can be disappointing; but, this one had good reviews so I tried it ... and I liked it! Tasty and clean on the palate. Very nice at room temperature (not so much when chilled for those who only like wines cold). With 111,100 cases made, it's widely available. This one is for drinking soon, within a year, not for holding.

Name:  Santa Rita P.N. 120 2015.jpg

It's refreshing to find a halfway decent Pinot Noir at this price point. I spent Thanksgiving at my sister's house and my BIL is a big time P.N. fan (also high end Cognacs). The bottle of P.N. I brought for the dinner table was $55. It was marvelous and that's what even a good deal on marvelous P.N. costs these days. It's why I thought to share my opinion of the inexpensive one. You can easily pay 3 times as much for other brands of P.N. of similar quality.

It's just regular Pepsi with no caffeine, not diet, or anything.

I assume it's sweetened w/HFCS.

I once bought Diet Coke. It didn't work out. I couldn't find any diet rum.
