Marcelo Plotnik

Marcelo is a man about whom one could safely say that he has devoted the whole of his life to an internal exploration. After dedicating two years to the study of Zen he realized that the mate-concept could also be perceived in the framework of a deep realization of human life. Marcelo was first to promote the art of drinking mate in the times of the USSR.
