Here we go again with some toning. With Maté this time. This is the tea of the Argentinian people. They literally drink that all day long. It’s quite a bitter taste so I could imagine it has some tanins. Two years ago, we had an intern who has roots in south America, and he used to drink maté while we were having coffee. I knew this from a trip to Argentina, so I asked him if he could get a pack for me and my photographic experiments. It gives a nice brown. Here the picture was bleached first and then toned for 20 to 30 minutes.
