    It was and apparently there this special way to make it/drink it and I cant remember because I was very stoned, but if I saw the picture I would remember. It was like this big ceramic? teapot and you drink from a metal? straw. I cant remember.

    I just know there was some special procedure about the whole thing.

    yea, I've had that exact thing once. also at some Argentinian's apartment. it's like yerba steeped in water. I think the metal straw is to stop you from swallowing the yerba.

    mmm, its so good!

    the leaves get rolled up into little pellets during processing, and its called gunpowder tea because of its looks

    yeah i've never had mate that traditional way. But the stuff I get from the tea lady at the flea market is pretty good. She also has this chocolate mate blend and a vanilla and hazelnut blend too. All very good. And yeah, it makes you feel wonderful.

    I drink much too much tea ( normall red tea)
    I dont think too much good for concentration , so try and cut down when working.Its slightly addictive , I think.

    Chinese herbal teas are very good ( healthy) , but often taste of cat piss.
