Since I'm no subject matter expert on Brazil, I asked one to join us for this episode.  Daniele Flores of Mate Solutions and the Mateko App, grew up in southern Brazil where Chimarrão is popular.  With Daniele's expertise, we'll reveal the difference between chimarrão and typical Argentina yerba mate as how the prepartion method is different. You'll gain an appreciation for how regional differences have brewed distinct flavors and rituals across the continent.
