In this article, we will explore the fascinating history of this unique drink and introduce the Tereré STK® Complete Kit – the perfect option for lovers of this tradition.
Origins of Tereré
Tereré has its roots in Guarani culture, being spread by the indigenous people of Paraguay. The practice of consuming chilled yerba mate quickly spread throughout South America, especially in the Pantanal, where high temperatures made this chilled version of yerba mate an irresistible choice.
