Nice post I’m argentine, I commented that like many compatriots I prefer to drink the mate in a cup, bought it in the form of tea-bags at any store or supermarket. Prepared in a cup we call it “mate cocido”. In summer you can also drink mate cold, its prepared with cold/frost water and in this case we call it “tereré”. At schools is very common to give children “mate cocido con leche”, made with hot milk instead of water, it is prepared in large pots and served in cups (but I believe that this is not a healthy habit for children)
Anyway, of course in my house there are several mates with bombillas

I did not know that Yerba Mate was a type of holly (Ilex is the botanical name for the genus holly). I look it up – and sure enough you are right !!! Learned something new and really enjoyed the beautiful pictures.

This is a great post!! Found your photo on Tastespotting, I am amazed you found someone in Mendoza that still carves mates by hand!
