An herbal or floral hot drink taken as an alternative to coffee. Every country has its own relationship with it: in Argentina it competes with mate in the afternoons, while in Mexico chamomile tea is the go-to home remedy for practically everything.
“I have a chamomile tea before bed, it helps me wind down.”
“Tea or coffee? In winter I will take anything hot.”
An affectionate term for someone of indigenous or humble Andean origin, used in Bolivia and Peru.
