Well, that's the last of my #Playadito #YerbaMate.
I've enjoyed it a lot. Very mellow, for a yerba.

I'm hoping my palate is up for the #Canarias Serena I ordered. It'll be my first time trying a non-#Argentinian brand.

@rl_dane How do you use this? Do you brew it as a tea?

You can put it in a tea strainer and brew it the regular way (with a regular amount of leaves), but traditionally, a large amount of the leaves are placed in a cup, and then a small amount of water is poured on the side and drunk right away out of a filter straw.

The process is quite zen, and enjoyable. One mate (cup) can make about two liters of tea over several pours.
