Argentinian Mate Workshop
Workshop Details
This Argentinian mate workshop in Buenos Aires will take place in a store in the center of the capital, located in La Recoleta or Retiro, depending on availability.
In a room dedicated entirely to mate, we'll begin the workshop by learning about the origins of this world-famous infusion. We'll reveal who invented the drink, the different ways in which it's consumed, its historical and cultural relevance, and, above all, its wonderful aromas and flavours!
During the workshop, we'll taste various agroecological and smoked yerba varieties, as well as different mate grinds and blends. As we prepare and savour our mate, we'll also enjoy a selection of Argentinian sweets, including croissants, homemade alfajores and cheese scones known as chipas.
Between one infusion and the next, we'll also learn about some of the legends associated with the world of mate—some of which date back as long as several hundred years ago!
Finally, after this 50-minute to 1.5-hour Argentinian mate workshop, we'll conclude this activity.
