What do you need to prepare mate?

To prepare mate, you first need the "yerba". You can buy these dried and ground leaves in several forms, such as herbs or fruit flavored; although the most commonly used is the so called "yerba mate con palo", with more or less 65% of dried leaves and 35% of chips and fibers from the yerba mate. The mate (container) is also needed along with the "bombilla" (straw); and hot water just before boiling. If you are going to drink mate with a group of people, then you should have a thermos to maintain the water temperature for longer.
