Sorry, Uruguayans, but I think I prefer Argentine mate. My mum just got her hands on a Uruguayan blend (Abuelita), so I had to try it. The finer cut of the yerba makes for an interesting experience. The first mouth full almost felt like a kick in the teeth, it was so full on! It settled down after that, but the fine cut also makes it harder to just casually sip at. It feels like an effort to get that water flowing throught bombilla

@ada As an Argentinian who's been living next door in Uruguay for the last 4 years, I can confidently say that most people adapt to either type of yerba. One or the other may be more of an acquired taste (not unlike Fernet, the Italian alcoholic drink also enjoyed in both countries) but after seeping from your bombilla a sufficiently high number of times, your taste buds learn to enjoy 'em both. At least that's been my experience so far.
