So this is your chance! You will take home with you the taste of mate, a souvenir painted with your own hands, cultural knowledge, and the joy of have been sharing a moment with your friends and family.

Had a wonderful time. The host was a joy to work with. Very informative. Most importantly, she was very patient with us non-artists as we worked through our masterpieces.
Jazz was great! We had a excellent time learning about mate and painting our mate cups! Mahalo for teaching us about Argentine culture.
We had a great time at this experience with Jaz! Jaz was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned about mate and were able to taste it. My favorite part was painting the cups! Jaz has recommendations for what to paint, but is also very encouraging if you want to paint your own thing. I love that we have something to take home from the experience, and it isn't big so it will pack well!
Jazmin’s mate tasting and paint workshop has a really nice, authentic atmosphere. The focus on one mate makes the experience feel intentional and unrushed, with enough context to understand the ritual properly. The painting part is relaxed and welcoming, gives you space to enjoy the process. Jazmin creates a warm, genuine environment that makes you feel comfortable from the start. You leave feeling calm, inspired, and with a personal piece you actually enjoyed creating.
What a lovely way to spend an afternoon in Buenos Aires… Jazmin was kind and informative. She shared the background of mate as well as the ins and outs about drinking yerba mate today along with a variety of yummy pastries. She is a local artist and was willing to share her experience. It was fun and relaxing to paint my own mate cup as well as talk to and ask questions about BA. Now I know what to look for in a mate cup and Yerba mate after spending time with Jazmin - so worth it!!! When I travel, I want to have experiences, not just check off what have seen. If you are like me, do not hesitate to sign up!
Amazing experience, very entertaining, very instructive, very instructive. The hostess is a sweet and wonderful person, friendly, friendly and very nice human being. Meeting her was an important part of the experience.
We have a great time! Highly recommend this to those interested in learning about the Argentine culture and history while drinking mate and getting some painting experience in.
Amazing experience. I loved learning about the history and cultural traditions of Mate all while painting my own mate cup and enjoying delicious pastries. The location was fantastic as well. The house was architecturally beautiful and the colorful mosaic tiles got the creative vibe started. Jaz was an excellent host and knowledgeable about everything mate and art. Her natural artistic ability inspired my own painting. Afterwards a short walk into the heart of San Telmo offered a nice glass of Argentinian wine and good people watching while taking in this beautiful city and people. All in all a five star experience with Jaz!
Somos de Puerto Rico que viajamos a Argentina para un reencuentro familiar y decidimos vivir la experiencia de tomar mate. Encontramos esta actividad maravillosa y pudimos reservarla rápidamente. La anfitriona fue muy amable, nos explicó la historia del mate, lo probamos y también pintamos nuestro propio mate. Fue una experiencia única y enriquecedora que recomendamos al 100%. We are from Puerto Rico who traveled to Argentina for a family reunion and decided to experience mate. We found this amazing activity and were able to book it quickly. The host was very kind, explained the history of mate, let us try it, and guided us in painting our own mate cup. It was a unique and enriching experience that we highly recommend.
Amazing experience! Lots of information about mate and the area in general! A wonderful way to experience mate, especially because it’s not something you find in restaurants. Would recommend to anyone coming to Argentina!
