Hello, I run two exposure sites for Yerba Mate. I am trying to keep all of the Mate blogs current. I was thinking we could link our sites up, or I could post for you, or something.

Just trying to keep the mate game up to date. I think we have spoken in the past, Id love to catch up.

Thanks

Sean Makau

Hey Gaucho,
I had a similar problem……. After leaving work early due to illness, my gourd was left with mate and water in it. I would say it sat for about a week before I realized where it had been moved to. The mate was black and the water had been evaporated. The inside of my gourd is now also black and kinda stinky. I washed it out and am going to dry it. Should I not use it again? And why would the wet mate turn black and moldy lookin?

Hi guys ever since i started drinking the yerba mate i gain massive energy and i also feel very great not only physicly but spiritually at the same time..and i also feel comfortable when i do my whole work out at the gym..I do not require any other energy supplements beside the yerba mate…it seems to me the this yerba mate supplement really works for the human body..

I’m a huge fan of the Four Hour Work Week. His mention of it in the book is actually what turned me onto yerba maté. I wonder if Tim has his own gourd or if he uses tea bags. I imagine that with the amount of time he has spend in Argentina, that he probably has at least one gourd.

Furthermore, maté was a lot harder to find in tea bags a few years ago when he presumably writing the book.
