    The Shakeup

    In this episode we are going to uncover the story of falling into yerba mate the hard way. From an accidental farmers market in Miami and a painfully bitter first sip, to unspoken social rules, silent judgments, and near run-ins with airport security, these stories reveal that mate is never just a drink. It’s a ritual you have to earn, a culture that teaches patience, and a social language where one wrong move—too many sips, boiling water, or saying “thank you” too soon—can end everything. Funny, humbling, and unexpectedly meaningful, this episode explores how mate becomes a companion, a teacher, and a quiet way of learning presence through mistakes. #yerbamate #somosmateína #healthydrink #mateína #miami
