Just Do It - Michaela was fantastic! As an unrepentant coffee addict who is - at best - ambivalent about non-coffee beverages, this masterclass converted me. Michaela explained the background behind mate, both the product itself and the whole culture/practice around it, in a fun and engaging way. We were able to try both a "plain" mate and the flavor/infusion variations. Apparently most rookies prefer the flavored versions, but the plain one ended up being my favorite (and the one I brought home). As for the flavors, I tried coffee, (because again, unrepentant); my girlfriend tried citric ginger. Hers was better. This is not the first time she's been right. The hour flew by, and now I have a new morning/afternoon ritual.

First time Mate Drinker - First time visiting Buenos Aires and seeing everyone drinking and talking about Mate but no place to try it as a first timer. We found Matea, that does a wonderful class introducing us to this local drink. Malena was very knowledgeable and gracious! A must do when here

Good experience! - Everything cute I recommend for foreign people who want to try, learn to prepare and buy mate! You can try mate classic or blends that have flavors, which I recommend if this is your first time trying because it is less strong.

De-mystifying ma’te - Fun and informative session on all things ‘ma’te’ with lovely pastries and nibbles as an accompaniment. Michaela, our ‘ma’te’ master was great. Thank you so much.

Top mate experience - Excellent experience. The information was very complete, the ladies were very friendly and we tried and prepared our own mate!! I recommend to any tourist who would like to learn about the history of mate!! We bought everything so we could prepare it at home 🔝 100% recommended.

The Only way you will try Mate - Every travel article about Argentina recommends you try Mate. To my surprise, it is extremely hard to find a place in Argentina that sells Mate. It is NOT sold in restaurants, or cafes, or bars, not even at the hotel (trust me I asked everywhere). Usually Argentinians prepare it at home, so unless you are invited to someone’s home in Argentina, you will not get to try Mate. So, it was a very pleasant surprise to find this Mate Experience. You get to try several Mates, and get a very interesting explanation of its history and the proper way to prepare it. If you want to try Mate I will definitely recommend it.

A must do in Argentina - We didn’t understand what really mate was until we did this experience! Very interesting, fun and necessary to fully appreciate such a characteristic tradition of Argentina. The “mate experts” are very professional and friendly at the same time. A must do!

Not a great class - I felt it was expensive for what it was. You only got to try 2 flavors of mate and our instructor wasn’t super enthusiastic either. She didn’t really explain things well. I often had to come to my own conclusions about things and verify it through her since she wouldn’t really explain anything unless asked about it. I wouldn’t do this class with this company. I would definitely try somewhere else.
