I like to drink warm yerba mate sometimes, even though I am not such a hotspur like some of my friends or citizens of South America. Once I even bought a gourd - it is very nice to sip such infusion through a bombilla  on a lazy afternoon. Bombilla is a special metal pipe closed on one end, but with little holes. This way parts of the herb don’t go into the pipe.

If you don’t know what is yerba mate, then here I rush to explain. Simply it is a healthier replacement for the tea. Different taste, more vitamins and more stimulating. The main advantage for me is that you can pour water of any temperature onto the herbs and you will still get all the nice things out of it. If one doesn’t like its taste then you can even pour orange juice and then you will receive a drink called ‘mate russo’. Sweet.
