Wonderful! - We very much enjoyed the mate class! Tomi was a welcoming and engaging host. We learned so much about mate -- not only how to drink it, but also about its history and social importance. We can't wait to try the mate we brought home with friends!

Highly recommended if you want the Buenos Aires experience - Tomi was incredible. Very knowledgeable on mate there was no question he could not answer. An incredible host making sure every member of the group was looked after and provided for, nothing was too much trouble. A great experience with the option to taste all different types of mate, meet new people and learn from a master.
