Enjoyable experience - Tommy was an amazing host/cebador! Even though I've been drinking yerba mate on my own for a while, I got to learn so much from Tommy. He went through how/where mate is cultivated and harvested, where the tradition came from, and culture around drinking and sharing yerba mate, and most importantly how to prepare it on your own. The experience is totally worth it because you get to try different types...original and flavoured ones, and have some snacks to eat with it. It was a really casual atmosphere, and Tommy got to answer all the questions we had. It was a lot of fun, time went by so fast AND you get your own certificate in the end! Loved it overall!
