As an Argentinian I find the idea of drinking that can insane. It’s always dried yerba with hot water (or cool juice in the case of tereré). I would side eye someone drinking that instead.
Mate here is culture, it’s social glue. That’s why people clowned our far right president when he showed being very inexperienced drinking mate. We drink it with our grandparents, our friends, our partners, our colleagues, our classmates, and so on and on. It’s less strong now post COVID for obvious reasons, but you get my point.
