Meta Mate Seattle

Born and raised in the majestic Pacific Northwest, my journey with erva mate began in 2010 when I was first introduced to this South American botanical treasure in Rio de Janeiro. The verdant landscape of my childhood echoed in the lush, earthy flavors of mate, forming an immediate, almost spiritual connection. Over the years, my fascination with this drink deepened, and I found myself not only consuming it regularly, but also keenly interested in the entire production process.

Over the years, I have co-produced the Mate Guys podcast, and have had an off-and-on involvement working with Meta Mate, further entwining my life with this remarkable tradition. I had the privilege of visiting the Gehm family and see their production process back in 2019. This experience has heightened my admiration and profound respect for this work more than ever.
