| factory |
 |
| wood oven for powering the machines |
 |
| piles of mate leaves, before drying. There´s pictures of people lying in them. Makes me feel safe having mate, knowing that the mate probably had people lying on it |
 |
| dried mate. This room was really hot. |
 |
| the "factory line": workers would shovel fresh leaves from the piles onto this moving assembly line thingy, and would move up a ramp |
 |
| when they´re in bags, they go in the truck. But first, they need to sit for about six months before people can use it. |
