I'm David Lang. I was born and raised in snowy Minnesota and currently live on my sailboat in the San Francisco Bay. I've been an avid Yerba Maté drinker for nearly 6 years. My dad, an enlightened man, taught me everything I know about Maté (which is about as much as anyone else in Minnesota.) Yerba Maté is the official drink of Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. It's a delicious, energy-packed dose of straight-up health, and rightfully considered the "Drink of the Gods." It's my personal mission to travel to South America to find the world's greatest Yerba Maté to bring back and share with the good people of Minnesota. The journey will not be easy, but somebody has to do it...
