Definitely recommend! - We had a great experience drinking mate and painting with Jazmin. She was very kind, informative, and engaging. She explained us about the origins of mate and the proper practice and then we had a lovely time painting our mate. She helped us decide our design for the cup, and had some good recommendations. The Argentinian snacks were delicious and we had an all-round great experience!! Definitely would recommend.

Highly Recommended!! - Fun and original cultural experience. There is a tour of the history of mate and also a tasting, mentioning and telling about emblematic places of the city and typical aspects, as well as the flora and fauna. The meeting ends with painting. Very fun and original!

The best, eat, paint and drink mate! - I loved painting my own matte and taking it with me! My friends and I had a lot of fun and Jazmín taught us, in addition to painting, how to drink mate! When I return to Buenos Aires I want to repeat!
