Argentine tea culture
Hey there, kiddo! Today I want to teach you all about Argentine tea culture.
In Argentina, people love to drink tea. It’s a big part of their daily routine and they have a special way of preparing and drinking it. Here’s how it works:
First, they fill a special pot called a “pava” with water and put it on the stove to boil. While they’re waiting for the water to boil, they prepare their tea. They use a special kind of tea called “yerva mate” and put it in a gourd. A gourd is a type of fruit that they hollow out and use as a cup.
Once the water has boiled, they pour it over the yerva mate in the gourd. Then they use a special straw called a “bombilla” to drink the tea. The bombilla has a filter at the end so they don’t get any of the leaves in their mouth.
Argentines love to drink their tea with friends and family. They sit around and pass the gourd and bombilla around, taking turns drinking the tea. It’s a great way to catch up and have a chat.
In Argentina, they also have a special meal called “merienda” which is like a snack in the afternoon. During merienda, they usually have some sweet pastries, like “facturas” to go with their tea. It’s a really nice way to relax in the afternoon.
So there you have it, kiddo. That’s how Argentine tea culture works. It’s all about gathering with friends and family, enjoying some sweet treats, and drinking tea out of a gourd with a special straw. It’s a fun and delicious tradition that many people in Argentina love to take part in.
