Why not go back to school and take a class on yerba mate? Become an expert. Amaze your friends with your new-found knowledge. Become a connoisseur. Become a cultural elitist!
On Sunday, October 5, 2008, I will be conducting a seminar on yerba mate in downtown Long Beach, California. Don’t miss this chance to learn more about yerba mate.
The class is part of the 2nd annual University by the Sea. Over 60 class, seminar, workshop and event offerings are listed in the course catalog. Classes start at only $5.00!
Classes will be taught all over the downtown area. My class titled “Yerba Mate — a Tea Tale” starts at 1:00 p.m. in the Solarium of the historic Lafayette Building at 140 Linden Ave. in Long Beach.
You will learn about the history, culture and health benefits of yerba mate through a brief lecture, PowerPoint presentation and a demonstration. My mate gourd and bombilla collection will be on display and for the “newbies” there will even be a tasting following the presentation.
For more information and to sign up, follow this link to: www.universitybythesea.com.
You will not get a degree. We are not selling anything. This is just for fun!
Salud!

Great blog, Jim. I am looking forward to your class tomorrow. I’ve been drinking mate and studying it for several years, and it will be great to see what an enthusiast has to share on the subject.
