Drinking yerba mate is one of life's great pleasures and in Argentina and Uruguay it is a practice that is, and has always been, synonymous with sharing. Within the yerba mate culture it perfectly normal to share a mate with friends, family members, work colleagues, acquaintances and even on occasion with perfect strangers. This element of "sharing" is fundamental to the yerba mate culture and tradition. However the world has changed and is currently under the very dark cloud of Covid-19. In this new reality all mate drinkers have to share the responsibility of caring for ourselves and caring for others.

With this in mind the Argentine National Institute of Yerba Mate (INYM) has prepared a a guide with a series of recommendations for mate drinkers in this new world so that we can continue to drink mate safely and that we stay connected.

Unfortunately it is only available in Spanish.

We invite you to read it. We invite you to share it.
