It’s hard to understand how and why this happened, and it’s also unclear where they get their funding. Initially, the Argentine embassy helped them, but now it’s unknown what funds keep them going and how they manage to bypass various sanctions. #matestr
Hahahaha what is the name of the brand?? I have to find it 🧉
Reserva del Che, but there's no point in searching for it; it's just regular Argentine yerba. By the way, it's far from the worst. It's better than what they send to Syria. The reason is probably that their main income comes from more premium blends with long aging, while in Syria, mate is more popular, and people prefer the cheapest blends.
It is true that Libya and Syria are very fond of mate too. Although they drink it boiled unlike us we drink it warm. By the way... Amazing name "Reserva del Ché" https://image.nostr.build/452dcae4fe4cda6ab93eebb8de51f4459924c2da2a89a334126ab9012fdc43c0.jpg
In Russia, mate is not really consumed; if it is, it's cocido. I’ve read somewhere that there are 30,000 mate consumers in Russia, and they drink it exactly the same way as in Argentina.
Here, too, Mate Cocido can be boiled, but it comes in tea bags. It's another way of taking it.
Russia is a tea country, and for most people, it's just "another tea." The 30,000 Russians who drink it in the Latin American style, with mate, a bombilla, and not steeping it in boiling water, are the ones who consume it that way. Based on my impression, I think the real number is probably three times smaller 😅
"Reserva"
No me sorprendería que lo paguemos los argentinos con nuestros impuestos. Somos la joda de Latinoamérica.
But how come Milei isn't aware? 🤣🧉
Milei is trying his best to deactivate all this bullshit stealing kind of thing but there is so many that is almost impossible to close them all haha
😅
Subsidio al mate ruso..AFUERA
🤣
7USD per Kg. Pretty decent price for a cult herb 🌿
In Russia, they are twice as expensive as Argentine brands.
No man... No way... 😐
Were you aware of this, nostr:nprofile1qqszp55czrt2t7ftq3dduqhthtwfqdkhg8xxs6cqg9wy9dprdlj26tcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7qgnwaehxw309amk7apww468smewdahx2tcn7hhmx ??? ⬆️ Hahahaha 🤣
