Admittedly my search for mate in London hasn’t been as earnest as it could have been. Surely there is a large enough Argentine ex-pat community in London to warrant some form of mate outlet? Well luck had it that whilst wandering the cobbled streets of Oxford, I was able to stumble upon a specialist tea & coffee store that sold yerba, albeit of the Brazilian variety.
So I probably paid an extortionate price - £2.75 for a small bag of 250g – but now I can feel that yerba caffeine kick which has gotten me through countless last-minute essay writing situations in the past. Coffee just doesn’t quite do it.
But if anyone does know of where to get cheap yerba in London, do drop me a line…
