About the Project

200 Mates is a collaborative web application that maps and celebrates the tradition of mate drinking around the world. More than just a beverage, mate represents hospitality, connection, and belonging. This project aims to understand how mate travels across borders, transforms through different cultures, and brings people together. From Argentina to Australia, from traditional calabaza to modern vessels, discover the global mate community.
