Paraguay's national drink by law. UNESCO listed the tereré ritual as intangible cultural heritage in 2020.
Paraguay's national drink — cold yerba maté brewed with ice-cold water or fruit juice, drunk through a metal straw. The social beverage of Paraguay.
Fill a guampa horn or cup two-thirds with yerba maté. Insert the bombilla metal straw.
Pour ice-cold water slowly down the side of the cup. Do not pour directly onto the yerba.
Pass the guampa. Each person drinks the full cup, returns it, and it is refilled.
Never pour boiling water into tereré — it is defined by cold water. Hot maté is mate; cold is tereré.
