Awesome Mith! I love yerba mate (for those that don't know, prounounced er-ba ma-tey, not yurba mate). Mis abuelos used to go to Uruguay every year and stock up on yerba and dulce de leche. My favorite when hanging out with them is getting up in the morning have crackers and cheese and passing the mate, and then again in the afternoon same thing but toss some dulce de leche on the crackers.

I'm not too impressed with their gourd selection on that site, but I've never found a website that I liked the gourd selection.

That same bag of mate listed above would run at least $10 at the nearest grocery store to me that would stock it (probably 90 miles away).
I may have to order some. When'd you first find out about mate?
