Will have to try it. Been looking to replace coffee but every 6 months or so I return to it again.
Yeah it is healthy because you are taking in a lot of water. Taste might take getting used to, but for me reminded me of Turkish tea which I take without sugar anyways.
But seriously, to say Argentinians and Uruguayans are crazy for it is an understatement. Whenever you stay at a hostel or any heavy backpacker place you can spot the Argentinians for the thermos can they carry. Every single time.
Already ordered my set by the way(thermos can + bambillo + calabash + 1 bag of yerba. Only thing left is a bag for the thermos can). Will take it with me to Turkey and bring it with me to the beach. Might lure some girls.
