The city has coffee bars and tea lounges aplenty, but where to go for an
energy boosting shot of yerba mate?
Look no further than El Almacen, Torontos first yerba mate café. Made
from the leaves of a tree thats in the same family as holly, Argentinas
national drink tastes a bit like green tea and is loaded with
anti-oxidants.
At Almacen, your mate is served in a traditional cured gourd with a
bombilla (a filter-tipped metal straw) to sip it from.
Mate can be drunk at any time of the day, but the most important part of
the tradition is that its drunk en masse.
Get your Gaucho and head on over.
El Almacen, 1078 Queen St. W., Toronto, 416-516-2898.
