Description: Terere is a traditional drink prepared in a jug or thermos, in which cold water is mixed with Pohã Ñana medicinal herbs crushed in a mortar. It is served in a glass pre-filled with yerba mate and sucked with a bombilla. Preparing the Terere is an intimate ritual based on a series of pre-established codes and each Pohã Ñana herb has health benefits linked to popular wisdom passed down through the generations. The practice fosters social cohesion and helps raise awareness of the rich cultural and botanical heritage of Guaraní origin.
