    I'm very sorry for the double comment, but thank you for the content you provide. It's not just informative, but also very entertaining. I don't want to get all sappy here in the comments, and it's likely you'll never see this, but things have been incredibly rough for my wife and myself lately, and your content gives me something to look forward to, and gives me ideas for teas and such to look forward to trying at some point. Seriously, thank you so much. I don't know if I could really express my gratitude properly.

    What a life, following tea! 🤙 I think this is what I was trying to identify. My neighbor in Jordan had us over once for a thick green "tea" soaked in the leaves like this, and using similar straw. She called it Met'teh.

    nice to see our precious mate (or chimarrão, as we also call it in southern brazil) on this channel. about the temperature, the usual water temperature is something between 70 and 80°C. some people may drink it hotter, but at least when the mate is is being prepared, the first infusion should be around 70°C or even lower so the leaves aren't damaged (some styles of yerba mate actually are better prepared first with cold water because it's absorved faster to make the wall/mountain of herb stable). great content again.

      Thank you so much! I'm happy to share this incredible drink with everyone. I am often hesitant to drift outside my area of expertise but I do like to talk other drinks I enjoy that are similar to tea and do as much research as I can. I appreciate you taking the time to add your thoughts on this, hopefully it helps others!

      It depends on whether it is roasted or unroasted. The roasted ones can get a bit smoky while the unroasted is very strong on these vegetal notes but I would say a bit more astringent compared to a sencha for example

      this can happen maybe with the roasted variety. also there are studies that tried to blame the mate for throat cancer, but that's because some people drank it wrongly too hot, plus it's drunk in larger quantities than other hot beverages, so coffee and tea don't get the temperature-cancer mistake.

      @Xaito Рік тому

      There are many studies. There is no definite proof yet, but there is evidence. The most damning ones are studies showing varying but often huge amount of PAH (class 1 carcinogen for humans) contamination. The smoke dried ones were the worst offenders, but the smoke free ones still were contaminated, possibly due to pollution in the region where it's grown. At least one study has shown similar amount of PAH metabolites in the urine of Mate drinkers who don't smoke as in smokers who don't drink Mate. Do with that information what you will. I love Mate, but I think there is reason to be careful. I think after reading the studies I'll avoid smoked mate in the future even if it does taste better. Also I'll try to cut back on the amount I drink.

      While 'tea' is used to refer to herbal extractions of any kind in everyday language, only leaves derived from the *tea plant* are classified as 'tea' officially. Everything else is can be called a 'tisane'/'influsion'/etc. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with saying tea in reference to something like chamomile or mate in everyday conversation, but it's useful to have the terminology to distinguish anything produced by the camellia sinensis plant, especially in regards to buying tea or discussing its properties.

      the carcinogen effects comes from the burned leaves, it happens when you use boiling water and don't let it reach all the leaves. it produces small amounts of soot that are carcinogenic with cronic use.
      don't boil the water, or simply make it reach every leaf and you'll be fine.
      Boiling ruins the flavor anyway.
