I am so happy that El Almacen exists. I first tried yerba matte tea on business in Brazil and when I read that the Argentinian equivalent could be found at its own cafe on Queen street west, I made a bee line down there. Yerba Matte, in addition to its health properties has a unique taste, quite smokey. The owner is a wealth of knowledge and is happy to get into a conversation with customers to introduce them to the tradition. I tasted an orange flavoured yerba matte tea. It was brewed in a French press. You can also have the beverage served in a gourd with a special metal straw. El Almacen offers traditional Argentinian/spanish desserts and a host of coffee selections. I would totally check it out if you are in the neighbourhood and want to sample authentic yerba matte.
