Argentalk: Stories in Argentine Spanish
Did you know that mate hides a centuries-old story behind every sip? In this episode, I’m joined by Angie, a yerba mate sommelier, to explore the deep roots of one of Argentina’s most defining traditions. We talk about the mate tree, how the Guaraní people first discovered its properties, and the fascinating process that turns simple leaves into the infusion that brings an entire country together. Through stories and insights, Angie invites us to see mate in a completely new way. And just so you know—this episode is entirely in Argentine Spanish.
