Tereré, more than a drink from Paraguay
Tereré, a traditional beverage native to Paraguay, is rooted in the practices of indigenous Guarani communities. First consumed during pre-Columbian times, it was prepared as a cold infusion of yerba mate in pumpkins or wooden bowls, as a way to combat heat and cool off.
With the arrival of Spanish colonizers and the introduction of yerba mate in the region, Tereré became a popular drink among the popular classes, especially in rural areas with warmer climates. In Paraguay, it became a symbol of national identity and a social habit rooted in daily life.
Although Paraguay is the country where Tereré is most popular and rooted in culture, it is also consumed in other South American countries, such as Argentina and northeastern Brazil. Therefore, it is concluded that Tereré reflects the diffusion and cultural importance of this beverage in the region.

Vraag me af naar wat het smaakt dit drankje, is het een soort tee?

It's similar to tea, but it's not. It's more like an infusion of yerba mate with cold water; it doesn't need to steep like tea, you can drink it directly after pouring some cold water over it.
wow I have never had this but my mouth waters at the site

It's very refreshing. If you have a store that sells yerba mate around you, I definitely recommended.

Hoewel het in de kan er mooi uit ziet, zal ik het niet drinken, omdat ik niet van blaadjes in mijn drankjes hou. Ik ben nu wel benieuwd waar Tereré uit bestaat. Dat dan weer wel.

It's kinda Cool Tea, it follows the same essence. We used it over my country and in neighboring countries to refreshing us, because the temperatures are very high.
