Top 5 Tea Resolutions

Author: Durango Walker
01.02.10

OK, we all have them, or are working on them for 2010. I’m talking about new year resolutions. What are you going to do different than last year, or better? For us Mate’ people, perhaps we should have our own, as we are a very special breed. I’ve listed a few, but feel free to post a comment to add to the list.

  1. Try adding a little “spice” to your Mate’ this year. Yerba Mate‘ now comes in a variety of flavors. If you’re the standard mate-er, try opening up your palate and enjoy the Chai version to start with.
  2. Once a week, try a tea ceremony. The Japanese and other Eastern cultures have wonderful rituals regarding tea. Here is an interesting video of a Japanese tea ceremony. Why not make your tea drinking something special.
  3. Convert a coffee drinker… Enough said!
  4. Pair a meal with Mate’. It can be done; it just hasn’t yet… Check out this website that discusses the topic. Hey, these are resolutions for me too, so I’m learning as well.
  5. DRINK MORE MATE’

Again, post a comment and let’s make a real resolution mix…

This morning I reached for the mate and find that it is GONE! AHH… OK, what to do, I think to myself. Tea bag, I must still have some tea bags… Thankfully, they are still there in my hiding place. With company in town over the holidays, a new important to do item: BUY MORE MATE!

Have a wonderful new year!

Do You Tea Tweet?

Author: Durango Walker

Imagine making your point in only 140 characters? Could you do it? For example, my first sentence was 91 characters. Twitter, an online micro-blogging application, forces its member users to post only 140 characters of information. That’s it, that’s all you got - 140 words and spaces. Yet, this communication medium has taken the internet by storm! By the end of 2009, Twitter is expected to have over 18 million users. The great news: some of those members are mate’ drinkers!

Below are a collection of “tweets”, or Twitter feeds from tea/mate’ lovers:

Guest Blogger - Christina Thompson - The Awakening…

Author: Durango Walker

I used to be a coffee drinker.  But I remember the moment of awakening… I was in college, half way through my tenure as a hard core vegetarian and environmental action groupie.

Someone poured a small teacup for me from a beautiful ceramic teapot.  The exotic aromas instantly captivated my senses - cardamom, ginger, cloves… The spices awakened me. I went on to travel after college, steeping in the aromas of different places and flavors of different countries. Fifteen years later, I’ve come a long way, but the aroma of Pixie Mate gets me up every morning, infusing my senses with the memories of past travels and the adventures yet to come. My husband wakes up before me and in the simple act of making tea for us, he shows me his love. There is no better way to start my morning than cupping my hands around my warm mug of aromatic Pixie. Thank you Pixie!

Welcome. Hey Hey Maté is a blog of solace from the company that brings you the cup of comfort. An attempt to capture the evolving culture of yerba maté from barista tales of what goes into the best maté latte to how the sacred sip of South America fuels people to the ends of the world (literally). Plus, some peripheral distractions that catch our fancy. Yes, Pixie Maté (Boulder, CO) is behind this operation...but when it comes down to it, Hey Hey Maté is just another way for 2 amigos to express more big love for the tea of the tree that sings the body electric. Drink Deep. You're safe here. Duane and T.J. (Nov 2006)
