One of the inventors of Rio Mate, Gustavo Sherman

Rio Mate recently sponsored the Brazilian Day event in New York City that featured Carlinhos Brown, Luciano Huck and many other NYC area Brazilian bands.

Brazilian Day is the biggest Brazilian event outside of Brazil and definitely a taste of pure Brazil right in the middle of the gritty city (much like Rio Mate itself). The drink was a big hit with New Yorkers and East Coast Brazilian ex-patriots. Check the pictures below. For more information on where to buy Rio Mate on the US east Coast, please check the where to buy page. For more product info please check about Rio Mate.

Did I mention we have a commercial running on Globo International?

And so it is that residents of the east coast can now also expect to see Rio Mate on their shelves at some local stores.

One of the quintessential sites on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro is a mate seller doing his thing hawking fresh mate to thirsty people. He walks around exclaiming “mate” “mate”. Health conscious Cariocas (Rio residents) know that Mate is the best thing available for them on the beach, and the Mate sellers have become part of the city’s patrimony. So if you want a b it of Rio de Janeiro and the healthy lifestyle, reach for that Rio Mate.
