Mate is from the

Mate is from the Argentine/Paraguayan/Brazilian border region. It is pronounced properly as "MAH-tay". MAH is like the vowel sound in "mom" and tay rhymes with "play". The stress falls on the first syllable

Correct Pronunciation

Well, "MAH-tay" may be how many people pronounce it in the United States, but in Spanish it's pronounced "mah-TAY". The acute accent seen over the letter "E" in maté is always used in Spanish to show where the stress falls.

Why???

Can anyone explain how we could drink so much caffeine every day for years on end and then now as just one a day will cause so much dizziness? Just seems absolutely crazy.

Thank you!
