I walked into one of the lab offices to find a Postdoc friend of mine enjoying this perculiar beverage. If I didn't know this guy to be the brilliant chemical biologist that he is I would have thought it was something that he got out of the back of a "High Times" magazine.
Turns out this is a traditional Chilean beverage (he's from Santiago) called Yerba Mate... or herb tea. The water filters down through the herbs and you sip it through a spoon with a flat strainer end (the spoon end) and a pipe like mouthpiece. Looks refreshing.
