I had the most incredible experience at Matea, Aromas y Sabores! This tour truly stands out with the level of detail given throughout. From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the atmosphere and the vast selection of teas available. But what sets them apart is being the one and only mate boutique in Latin America where you can sit and enjoy your mate.
The staff went above and beyond, taking the time to explain the history of mate and its cultural significance in the region. They provided a thorough guide on how to properly drink mate, ensuring I had the best experience possible. It was fascinating to learn about the traditions and techniques behind this beloved beverage.
Now, let's talk about the mate itself - simply amazing! The array of flavors and blends they offer is outstanding. Each sip was a delightful journey, and I couldn't resist trying multiple varieties. The quality of the mate was top-notch, and I could genuinely taste the care and dedication that went into crafting each blend. Coffee bean the absolute best!

This is the first time I’ve visited Argentina before (I am from the United States of America)
I saw tons of people walking around with mate on the street, but didn’t see it listed anywhere on menus in restaurants. I was a little confused as to how so many people had it but there was no where to try it myself.
This was such a cool little shop, I was able to try mate for the first time. The person working the shop was super knowledgeable, and friendly. She showed us the entire process of how to prepare the drink and then we were able to try doing it ourselves.
Ended up buying a whole set of my own!
If you call one day ahead of time, you can schedule a longer session that also goes into the history of mate.
I would highly recommend checking them out especially if you are unfamiliar with mate in general!
Perfect 1 hour-ish long activity...
