¡Hola!

With the holiday season approaching we thought you may want to know of up coming latino events and activities, so here are some for you to try as the new year approaches. We don’t know of events outside the Auckland region, so if you know of any, email us and we will post it in our website!

The Auckland Spanish Language Meetup Group. Clare Coulson is the dedicated organiser behind the regular monthly Latin club meetings. They've shifted around a bit since we've been going to them but the Meetup message boards on-line are really useful and provide reminders and updates about up coming events. It is a good opportunity to practice your English or Spanish and to meet people from other places.

CONGRATULATIONS to Dave J. from Auckland, the winner of December's draw!!! Dave got a package of our special mate and a very nice gourd!. What do you do to win awesome prizes? Nothing! Just stay subscribed to this newsletter and you're in to win!

Ordering in bulk or without a credit card

Not all customers have a credit card or feel comfortable using their credit card on-line. Whilst we use a third party independent e-Commerce provider, the risks of using a credit card on-line may be more to do with your own computer than our service. For those who don’t have a credit card or don’t want to use internet payments, we also accept payments by cash, cheque and direct deposit. If you prefer to order in bulk, we are also able to discuss larger orders and freight options in this manner.

Did you know?

A study by the University of Illinois, Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (2005) found that mate tea may actually inhibit the proliferation of oral cancers. Other studies have found that drinking yerba mate too hot (so that it burns your mouth) may actually cause cancer; however this is caused by the burn produced from the hot water and not the ingredients!
Mate contains xanthenes, which are alkaloids in the same family as caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, well-known stimulants also found in coffee and chocolate It is also known to contain 196 active compounds: 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids and 11 polyphenols (antioxidants).

We take this opportunity to wish you all, a very nice holiday season and a happy new year

Saludos,
Daniel y Gabriela
