And a heartfelt hi from another A Clockwork Orange fan. I bloody love the book. (And the movie, too.)
Truth is, I was trying to be simple, so I mentioned the horns/guampas in MS instead. It seems to me that they (you?) consume mate far more as tereré than hot mate/chimarrão. Even some of the folks in Paraná's third plateau would rather use glasses. (I'm from Curitiba, so rather far from them. The first time I saw it - mate on a large glass, with lemon soda - I couldn't help but "...what?" It's comfy in the summer though.)
