About Mateína

From ancient Indigenous legends to modern gourds passed hand to hand, we dive into mate—a powerful brew rooted in culture, ritual, and community. Mostly drunk in Argentina and Uruguay, mate is more than caffeine; it’s a shared moment, a social glue, even a lifestyle. From hot, bitter sips to chilled tereré, and yes, famously loved by Lionel Messi, this drink connects generations. Join me every other Wednesday as we uncover the stories, flavors, and culture behind this iconic brew. This is Mateína. I’m your host, Thomas.
