The cebador will be in charge or preparing and serving the mate. As the round starts, we are just supposed to say “thank you” when we are satisfied and will drink no more mate. We should not say “thank you” after having the first mate, as it is considered a disdainful gesture. Likewise, we are not supposed to move or clean the bombilla (straw). We just need to sip the beverage, return the mate to the cebador and wait for the round to start again. Undoubtedly, mate is a friendly way to get along and to bond.
