Hahahaha. I know hey, the funny thing is that the Mate is also called the drink of friendship because you usually share the same cup and straw between a group of people (friends or soon to become friends).

You definitely will cough drinking the Chimarrao (Brazilian Mate) if you don't prepare it right and the very fine cut leaves get through the filter. It happened to me a few of times when I started learning how to prepare one.

Awesome! :>)

This just made me realize that we have an expression in Dutch ( when it comes to alcohol consumption: "Geniet maar drink met mate." meaning "Enjoy it but drink moderately". There's a funny alternative to it "Geniet maar drink met je maten" which translates to: "Enjoy but drink with your buddies".

Coughing or not it still sounds better and way healthier than the crazy "cinnamon challenge"

See you around! :>)
