More Tea Vicar?

Chimarrão is a green herbal tea that the Gaúchos love, the plant is Ilex paraguariensis, I don't know the common name in English, here it's Erva Mate, the Spanish speaking countries know it as Yerba Mate I think. It's drunk from a small gourd through a metal straw and it's shared around a group, family or friends and continually topped up with hot water from a vacuum flask. In this way everyone gets to share their herpes! Yerpes Mate!
Anyway here I am sharing one right now with Angel. It's the Gaúcho equivalent of a nice cup of tea only they take it everywhere with them, to parks, at work. Where ever there's a Gaúcho, the ubiquitous cuia (that's the gourd) will be with him.
No thanks I farted, pass the fucking buns.
