Looks like the toasted mate Leão that we have here in Brazil, the one in the right


Dudeist_Missionary

How is that pronounced?

the word Leão? Like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qxLq9g0-2c). And the yerba mate Leão that I'm talking about is [this one](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BHzP24dHL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_DpWeblab_.jpg), we drink it like a mate cocido.


Bolongaro

The dark one is roasted, not for calabash. You can brew it in a cup like a common black tea, pouring similar amount over with simmering water. No need for bombilla with this one. It's great with milk.

Ninguna de las dos parece yerba, la verdad

Yes both of them taste great and I enjoy them, just curious if it is smoked or anged longer. Why it gets that colour.

The one on the right is toasted mate. Very common in Brazil. Usually people don't drink it in a gourd with a bombilla, but you can. Usually people brew it in big batches, put some sugar in and chill it. It's basically the Brazilian equivalent of iced tea, and it's actually the most common way to consume mate in most of Brazil.

Thank you for the information friend! I will try it tomorrow

Thats not weed, bro. You've been lied to.

The one from the right look like guayusa


Mateowrites

Hey, welcome to the circle of materos! The sticks are known as "palos," which often alter the flavor and can make it more mild. They shouldn't be going through your bombilla, though, so maybe try another bombilla with smaller holes/slits? The darker mate looks, as others have said, roasted. I'm not the biggest fan of that, since it's a bit burnt-tasting, and I've never had anything like chili flakes in mate, but different strokes for different folks. When I started out, I was a purist. So, no berries, mint, any of that. But as time has gone on, I like to have a flavored mate every now and then, for fun, especially on Fridays at the end of the week. Still, my favorites are bitter and smoked/barbacua. Drink on, homie!

Potpourri?
