      Mate Masterclass

      It all begins with a Guarani legend, how and where the yerba mate tree was born, probably the most romantic history version of this iconic infusion from Argentina. Attendees will be able to see and touch 4 types of organic herbs, without TACC, aged during a period of 24 months and different grindings, as well as 2 blends made exclusively by the sommelier. You will be able to recognize a premium herb from a commercial one. You will familiarize yourself with all the necessary elements to drink mate meanwhile you deepen on some urban mate myths: Any container serves for drinking mate? What’s the best material for a mate? Is the mate dust bad? What does it mean to cure mate? Is it true that it’s a “sin” to add sugar to the mate? These are crucial questions to be answered meanwhile you prepare your first mate (cebar un primer mate)...

      In order to get this done, you will use water at different temperatures and step by step the ritual to prepare "a good mate". You will stain your hands with yerba dust, take a handful of naturally dried yerba and bring it close to your ears to feel it crunch. . . you will gain an understanding of the most common mistakes when preparing a good mate, to become an expert! And since we love pastry and mate-matching, you will taste specially cooked delight to accompany this infusion. You will be amazed to find that yerba mate is present in different preparations.
