I switched coffee for Yerba Mate a long time ago. It probably has similar supply chain issues to be honest but its isolated in a specific part of Brazil and Argentina from what I know. @josie@vegantheoryclub.org have you ever been to a mate growing region?

Ah sorry if there is some confusion but I don't actually live in Brazil. I would like to live there someday tho.

Same! I just knew you spoke Portuguese and thought maybe were a tourist. I can't imagine a lot of people online live anywhere near Misiones Argentina or the Jungles in Paraná. I also speak a language from a country I didn't grow up or live in but mostly because I'm not allowed lol.

Sorry, I am running on like three hours of sleep today lol.

I've never been to Brazil unfortunately though I have Brazilian friends who have taught me a fair bit about the culture and I have picked up a lot of Portuguese because of this as well. I would love to visit a mate growing region like Paraná or Santa Catarina when I finally do move/travel there though.

It is my goal to move to Uruguay on a permanent basis
