Terere Bar - Bar de Terere

I was chatting with a Paraguayan friend online today who told me he went last weekend to San Bernardino on the way to Altos, and found out a really great place, it’s a Terere bar, where people go in groups and choose their guampas, thermos and bombillas, they can choose among more than 20 kinds of yerba mate teas and herbs and build their own terere kits and have fun, there are also empanadas and chipas that go along with the terere.
The view of the bar is great, a totally relaxing environment, the decor is very typical with hammock (Hamacas) and wire chairs and other folkloric decoration, it is just open during the season (till February)
I found it very interesting and very original that some friends came up with that idea and now there is a reality.
Yesterday I went to Tully’s cafe here in Seattle and it happens that they added yerba mate drinks to their menu, who great is that?, and Paraguay is one of the biggest producer and consumers of yerba mate with tons of brands and interesting herbs even to lose weigh, it is very health and you can drink it like a tea hot (mate) and cold (terere), and I’m very glad that Yerba Mate tea is going beyond South American borders and that more people is learning to know not just all the advantages of the tea but all the culture that is behind it.

To all the people involved in that terere bar, congratulations! and I’m looking forward to drink terere there soon =)
