It is always polite to accept an invitation to drink mate, especially while being a foreigner in a foreign land. The cebador will be in charge or preparing and serving the mate, thus starting the round. We are just supposed to say “thank you” when we are satisfied and will drink no more mate. Saying “thank you” after having the first mate 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. In the cities, instead, mate has become much more customized and the drinker has its own vacuum flask. But in all occasions, sharing some mate is a friendly way to get along and to bond.
