Mommy took us to visit her friend Marina.  She is really nice and made us some mate.  It's a drink from Argentine and you fill the cup with sugar and tea, then pour hot water, stir, and drink through a metal straw with a filter at the end.  It's almost like a reversal of the standard tea ball and teacup. 

Marina told us that when you drink mate, you say thank you only when you have enough.  Otherwise, if someone refill the cup and you say thank you, that's no more tea for you!! Now I have to remember that.
