Mate tasting with the family - Interesting to learn about the history of mate. Fun to experience a tasting with traditional and flavored mate. Each person in the family had their own favorite.

Excellent, super recommended. - It was a pleasant experience as apart from the interesting story, we learned the right way to prepare mate and were able to choose and taste different flavors. 100% recommended!, It is something that as a tourist you should visit indisputably.

The art of Mate - Martina was warm and inviting and clearly showed us the art of Mate drinking and the history of this popular drink. We tried local pastries along with our mate and it’s something everyone should do that visits Buenos Aires.

Just Do It - Michaela was fantastic! As an unrepentant coffee addict who is - at best - ambivalent about non-coffee beverages, this masterclass converted me. Michaela explained the background behind mate, both the product itself and the whole culture/practice around it, in a fun and engaging way. We were able to try both a "plain" mate and the flavor/infusion variations. Apparently most rookies prefer the flavored versions, but the plain one ended up being my favorite (and the one I brought home). As for the flavors, I tried coffee, (because again, unrepentant); my girlfriend tried citric ginger. Hers was better. This is not the first time she's been right. The hour flew by, and now I have a new morning/afternoon ritual.

First time Mate Drinker - First time visiting Buenos Aires and seeing everyone drinking and talking about Mate but no place to try it as a first timer. We found Matea, that does a wonderful class introducing us to this local drink. Malena was very knowledgeable and gracious! A must do when here

Good experience! - Everything cute I recommend for foreign people who want to try, learn to prepare and buy mate! You can try mate classic or blends that have flavors, which I recommend if this is your first time trying because it is less strong.

Not a great class - I felt it was expensive for what it was. You only got to try 2 flavors of mate and our instructor wasn’t super enthusiastic either. She didn’t really explain things well. I often had to come to my own conclusions about things and verify it through her since she wouldn’t really explain anything unless asked about it. I wouldn’t do this class with this company. I would definitely try somewhere else.
