A 25-minute mate tasting: try and prepare your first mate, two types of yerba, a bombilla and a certificate to take home.
A short, hands-on introduction to mate at a shop in Recoleta built entirely around the drink — exclusive yerba blends, premium selections and mate accessories, alongside the tasting room. You try and prepare your first mate, with two types of yerba side by side: traditional and a blend. Twenty-five minutes, built for a first taste rather than the full history — the longer masterclass version covers that, plus pastries.
