local caffeine part two: yerba mate'.

I finally got around to posting part two of this local caffeine series. Hope you enjoy the video.





some notes about the video:

--the glass bombilla doesn't burn your mouth
-- I have never heard any of the Latin names used in this video actually pronounced.
-- I regretably don't speak Spanish or have much knowledge about the very diverse mate' drinking cultures (mostly in South America).
-- I have never seen a mate' (Ilex paraguensis) plant. -- I have only seen a few Yaupon Hollies in pots. Never in the wild, where they can grow to good-sized shrubs.
-- The genus Ilex (Hollies) are in the Aquifoliaceae family.

There exists a much longer version of this video with more information.
