Matte Tea Experience in Buenos Aires

5.00Before going to Spain, I first stayed in Buenos Aires for a month and finally experienced the legendary Mate tea! The first drinking a little painful, but the more smooth the drink, the super. With the locals sitting around the park, turning in with the same cucumber to drink, the atmosphere is super warm, like a large circle. Later, he also participated in specialty tea activities, teaching teachers how to make tea, make tea, bubble temperature, and also the ritual of sharing. The whole process is not just tea, it is the best introduction to Argentine social culture! After a month, I've been completely in love with mate tea, now back in Hong Kong I will buy and drink myself, full of South American memories - strongly recommend that everyone who comes to Buenos Aires try it!
Perfect way to experience the culture and meet people

5.00I attended the mate workshop at Vamos a few days ago, and honestly it ended up being one of my few real experiences in Buenos Aires since I was only in the city for a short time and I’m so glad I went. The host was fantastic: super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and great at explaining everything clearly. She guided the activity perfectly, answered every question, and made the whole workshop feel genuinely special. I learned a lot and had a great time as well. I’d definitely recommend it, especially if you’re only in Buenos Aires for a few days and want something authentic, well-organized, and memorable.
Amazing and lovely

5.00I absolutely loved this Mate Experience Workshop! I was looking for something that would let me feel like a local and this was perfect. The host was super friendly and explained everything about the mate tradition. How to prepare it, share it and even the little social rules behind it. I met amazing people and we ended up chatting for hours. It felt like being part of an Argentine family for an afternoon. I even got to take home a gift, such a beautiful touch! Totally recommend it if you want to experience real Buenos Aires!
