    Mate is a tea, right? I've never been much of a tea drinker.

    The only Yerba Mate I know of is the "Cuban" soda that is sold in Miami under the trademark "Materva"

    Yeah, in the U.S. it's mostly consumed in tea bag form.

    I get mine from www.yerba-mate.com.

    Different ways to brew it: http://yerba-mate.com/brewing.htm

    I just started drinking it and it's good stuff!

    Interesting..

    Sounds like a carbonated iced tea?

    You can also buy the stuff at almost any latino market you can find. The latino markets tend to have better mate than other sources I have found in the US.

    Good to know.

    I'm drinking a different blend today - Aviva Cosecha Silvestre Limon.
