Argentinian here. I study basically 12 hours per day and in that time i usually consume 3-4.5 liters per day! It's great for studying, and is good for drink at any time, since it gives you energy but if you want to sleep, the yerba helps to relax your mind/body
how it help u study, and at the same time to sleep ??? I'm a student too and I study 12 h/day, and I want to know if I can use it in my study time ....
@@Fadel.ab98 it helps for study yeah. It contains caffein and make you really more fouced. But no it doesnt help if u want to sleep. Drink it only in the morning otherwise u not gonna be able to sleep well
i am a farmer here in south brazil, and basically all the farmers here have the costume to drink it in the morning, after waking up, before the breakfast, and before the lunch,
I've been drinking slightly over 4 quarts a day. it's pretty much all I drink all day long from wake up to go sleep time. I brew it in a perkulator like you would loose leaf tea. I get physicals every two years for my employment and EKG for anxiety. Nothing but healthy reports. I've been drinking yerba mate almost 10 years now.
But they're recycling mate the leaves. That lowers the amount of caffeine/stimulant because they are not using fresh leaves for each brewing. Like the Chinese who recycle tea leaves. 90-95 percent of the caffeine/stimulant properties are gone after the first cup. So that would impact how much they could handle. Side benefit, it's more cost effective too! And yes, you can overdose on mint tea. Too much and you mess your electrolyte levels. Water poisoning. xD
I actully do reuse the mate for a second brew....i also infuse the mate with green tea.....I love the taste and I add a small amount of sugar and enjoy the health benefits of both.
I drink lots every day. Usually around two (cold) 51 oz French Presses full, or more. I brew it overnight. It’s become almost all I drink lately. I gave up coffee recently because it gives me headaches and when I started noticing the positive effects of mate, I started looking more into it and drinking it more. One thing I find strange about mate is that I can’t seem to find a way to infuse it with anything that does not completely change the character of the mate. It’s strange because mate is so strong, earthy and smoky…I would think that adding a small amount of this or that to it would just tint the flavor of the mate, but everything i’ve ever added it completely changes the character of it so that it’s no longer mate … I have tried lots of things… green tea, roasted dandelion, red tea with fruity flavors, and more….But everything overpowers and negates the mate. So I just stick with a little bit of stevia/monk fruit mix for a bit of sweet and that’s it…I used to like it warm with oat milk but for me, now even the oat milk kills the mate flavor. Strange! thanks for all your videos, lol, never saw someone love mate so much!
Hi! You might wanna try tereré. It is another way to drink mate where you mix it with fresh juice. I recommend you to try it with lemonade, orange juice or grapefruit.
Just started drinking mate little over a month ago and have balanced to about 2 Liters of it a day, might get up to 3 liters when i get more varieties, as someone who has had issues trying to get the necessary amount of liquids one needs a day mate has solved it and then some.
Is there a difference in the brew taste or effect from a French press vs traditional? French press and my travel mug seems like a fit for my job but wondering if the traditional method with a has benefits other than looking cool.
I'm new into yerba mate and I def love it. After some research I came across info that you may get cancer after prolonged use of it. Is it OK to drink one cup a day of three teaspoons of smoked yerba mate? Can anyone help me out? I use mate as a substitute to coffee but now I'm afraid of the side effects.
As far as I understood, most Yerba mate contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (which are carcinogenic) due to being dried by heat from an open fire. To which degree daily consumption of mate raises the probability of cancer is still being debuted. Studies on this are flawed and for example don't control for the carcinogenic effect of ingesting way too hot beverages regularly, which is done by a good part of mate drinkers. If you are worried about your health, prepare your mate with unsmoked Yerba (e.g. Kraus Organica) and water with 70c or less (the temperature only matters if you drink mate traditionally of course). Putting it in perspective: Drinking alcohol or smoking fairly regularly, an unhealthy diet and not exercising enough will probably have a far greater negative impact on your health than drinking mate
Ive never had that when having 3L of it, I have noticed it makes me regular in my movements but not to the point of diarrhea, several more trips to urinate but nothing bad
1l is still kind of a lot for your body to filter. Hey some blood checks regularly to see if your liver acts up. I almost got cirrhosis from too much tea drinking a couple years ago. Grab tea is healthy unless you're using it too warm you up from the inside in a cold ass winter and drinking liters a day
Is it ok to consume the same amount of yerba mate that comes in a can (yellow can) to receive the same benefits? Or is this a bad idea and will lead to problems down the road if consumed daily?
that company is awesome and I love it too but it’s full of cane sugar, I think nearly 30 grams per can! it’s up to you but I’d recommend brewing your own so you can modulate the sugar consumption better
chinese here. I habitually drink a lot of tea throughout the day, re-using the leaves like how we do with mate ofc. today I just had my first encounter with mate, I drank a whole termo (2L) of it, with a lot of fresh mate leaves and I felt dizzy and my peripheral vision went dim. but nothing major and I recovered fairly quickly. I also went to the gym right afterwards and pretty sure that didn't help. now I feel very calm, kind of like after nicotine. so if anything I'd say if you're not used to it start slow and don't straight up drink 2L of it like I did and you'll have a good time :D
I don't drink enough liquids period... Hoping to find the one drink that will get me to stay hydrated. So much I don't trust even water. I distill my water but only drink maybe 8oz a day way below my needs. For years my relatives say to drink mate so I am and I did a home brew using my own method nit sure if its correct or not but I didn't research. Just heard not above 175f so I set my sousvide immersion water heater to 160 filled an infusion tin with yerba and made 59oz kept it stable temp for 2hrs and then glass contained it in the fridge. Been drinking straight for 2 days 1 cup each day to start didn't like what I had at the vegan restaurant so been trying the home brew and still don't like it. But I will try tomorrow to drink all day. Although not just adding hot water to a gourd. I may try a bit of honey comb or adding some kumkwat skins for flavor enhance. Ill update my experience as a newbie. Thanks for your vide series.
Dave thank you foe answering this question. If you don't mind answering another with regards to sleep and caffeine. You drink mate all day and claim it aids in sleep but how is that possible if it contains caffeine that act on the adenosine receptors in the brain. Wouldn't you stay awake, alert, and feeling well, as mate does, but in this case alter sleep? Or do you cut the consumption of mate past a certain hour? Thanks for the reply in advance.
it depends from person to person, for me I could drink a cup of mate 30 minutes before bed and go to sleep quickly but also it can help me keep awake if needs be, I have not had a issue with sleep and mate
I'm still very new to mate love the taste and process or making it but I keep feeling really strange jittery almost paranoid I think I'm drinking to much too quickly so going to slow down but wondered if anyone else have this problem? Or heard of it? South Americans I'm looking at you guys here! I'm drinking Cruz de Malta with a gourd and bombilla
Hi Dale, I'm in UK too and have been drinking it for a few years after being introduced to it by some Brazilians. It sounds like you are having some side effects, I would just reduce how much you are drinking by half and see how you feel. If you are ok with that, then gradually increase until you find a level you're comfortable with. I personally drink 1-1.5 litres a day and providing I don't drink it late afternoon or evening, I'm completely fine with it.
Hey man, love your videos! I've recently gotten into serious mate drinking after drinking the german soft drink Club Mate which contains mate extract. It would be interesting to see a video with your views on Mate soft drinks.
"Its just another herb (lights a cigarette)"... tobacco is also just another herb... that kills... lol jk, mate is awesome!! Just make sure you measure how much caffeine intake you consume during your day.
Hi, I just recently discovered Mate.. and as a starter I bought the Mate teabags I reuse them too... I noticed I feel fuller with the tea, is that normal??
I have high blood pressure so for the first time in my life I switched to Decaf. then I started on mate a month ago not sure if my BP is lower but I know my Acid reflux I 75% better with out coffee. ill ask my Dr about the Caffeine in mate in comparison to coffee.
cloudchaser07 My grandmother drank mate all her life, early in the morning starting from 7 am till midday when she stopped to eat lunch 1 pm they started with mate again till 6 pm when they stopped to have supper and they started with mate again from 8 pm till 10 pm. That's a hellava lot of mate and they changed regularly the yerba they hated washed up yerba. They never had any health issue and she lived at the age of 103 years old
Yeah, coca, marijuana and tabacco are also just herbs, but if you need it every day you got an addiction going. Xanthines are not harmless. They are addictive drugs and they can have side effects when abused and you need to be mindfull of that.
Question is how often should I replace the herbs in the gord? I do it once per day with about 50g of herb. This seems like a lot in the long term though since I just started. I guess I would be using about 1.5kg a day.
fadi safar No it’s not 1000mg. Most of the caffeine from a 30g dry weight of yerba is release within the first few cycles. If you refresh the gourd 2 times per day at 30g each time, considering mate has around the same amount of caffeine as coffee, you can estimate how much caffeine you’d ingest.
Life is dangerous. Most of the jobs I've done are dangerous, (forestry/lumber jacking an similar). Alot of the things in life that are the most worthwhile, enjoyable or just plain fun as hell and make you feel more alive are dangerous. Perspective and discernment is key... In ALL things! B-)

I just had mate and I'm relaxed.
I've been drinking slightly over 4 quarts a day. it's pretty much all I drink all day long from wake up to go sleep time. I brew it in a perkulator like you would loose leaf tea. I get physicals every two years for my employment and EKG for anxiety. Nothing but healthy reports. I've been drinking yerba mate almost 10 years now.
the point of concern is how much leafs in weight per day. The amount of water you add just changes the strength.
I give you a thumbs up for lighting up a joint/cigarette with style during talking about tea and wearing a hat.
I recon its Mapacho
Tried yerba mate yesterday first time and I'm already hooked

Always nice to see a fellow drinker.

How much mate are you using per day to use up that thermostat
Is there a difference in the brew taste or effect from a French press vs traditional? French press and my travel mug seems like a fit for my job but wondering if the traditional method with a has benefits other than looking cool.
Do you know if there is any health issue drinking mate first thing in the early morning with an empty stomach?

Mate contains theobromine, which affects how caffeine is absorbed and reacts in your body
it depends from person to person, for me I could drink a cup of mate 30 minutes before bed and go to sleep quickly but also it can help me keep awake if needs be, I have not had a issue with sleep and mate
@CasualDude thank you
For the record. Mate is big in Chile too. Its part of the culture/sociology of the country.
Uruguay is the country that drinks the most mate per capita though.
Can you smoke mate?

No Problemm
Matte is great ! Good video
**lights up**
Yerba mate gave me micro testis. I ground them and turned them into more yerba for my calabash.
So how much caffeine is that ? Per liter
How many times in a day do you refill you're gourd with mate?
+Allan Guevara maybe 30ish times.
+Circle of Drink Amazing! How many cycles do you usually go through for each refill?
Circle of Drink 30 times in one day, isn’t that a lot of caffeine?
How much mate do you add into your gourd. Adding water doesn’t add more mate, just the amount you already added.
General rule is to add half to 3/4s of mate.
i like all your videos , thank you .
Hey man, love your videos! I've recently gotten into serious mate drinking after drinking the german soft drink Club Mate which contains mate extract. It would be interesting to see a video with your views on Mate soft drinks.

Do you feel a difference between club mate and mate tee?
cancer usually hows up latr in liofe.
"Its just another herb (lights a cigarette)"... tobacco is also just another herb... that kills... lol jk, mate is awesome!! Just make sure you measure how much caffeine intake you consume during your day.
What kills you in cigarettes is the enormous amount of added nicotine and other substances they add to it.
hey brother great video! Is it true that you can cure your mate with alchool only?
Thanks for the info my friend :)
great content sir
Hi, I just recently discovered Mate.. and as a starter I bought the Mate teabags I reuse them too... I noticed I feel fuller with the tea, is that normal??
Maybe try a more robust yerba mate like Mission or Ascension.

just be careful with hydratation, drinking mate does not hydrate, u have to still drink 2 litres of water per day

MATE is da ‘erb, it come from de eart’
The best yerba mate is the Uruguayan Canary Islands
Question is how often should I replace the herbs in the gord? I do it once per day with about 50g of herb. This seems like a lot in the long term though since I just started. I guess I would be using about 1.5kg a day.
When the taste has completely gone you'll be able to tell. For that amount you might not need to replace it.
Tobacco is a simple herb.............
thats at least 1000 mg of caffeine a day, are u sure this is okay ?
doctors say that more than 600 could be a risk
fadi safar No it’s not 1000mg. Most of the caffeine from a 30g dry weight of yerba is release within the first few cycles. If you refresh the gourd 2 times per day at 30g each time, considering mate has around the same amount of caffeine as coffee, you can estimate how much caffeine you’d ingest.
... and cigarettes are really good for you. (oh yeah, just don't light them)
I love you. Thanks.

The cancer risk is from smoked mate leaves. Definitely go with unsmoked brands to avoid this issue

For as long as there is flavors in the yerba.
