The sugar is a regional addition. sugar is added to maté in Buenos Airies and further north. South of BA, no sugar. And if the person you're staying with grew up in the south and moved to BA, they'd still not have sugar.
I like maté. I loathe most herbal teas. *shrug* Who knows why?
of course, it could be the caffiene in maté that makes it worth drinking.
