Algrarrobo (carob tree wood) Mate Gourd + Bombilla (straw)
100% Argentine Artisan Product

Being a handmade product, each mate is unique and the measurements may vary a little.

 

For your mate gourd to be ready for use, it needs to be cured. This helps prevent cracking, molding, and improves the flavor. You will notice that the longer you use your gourd, the better your Yerba mate will taste.

  • A well-cured wood mate gourd is long-lasting and improves the flavor.

    1. Wash the mate with warm water.
    2. Fill the gourd with used yerba and add warm water so the yerba does not dry out. Leave it like this for 24hs. It's crucial to keep it wet while it's being ‘cured’. If you do not have used yerba, put new yerba on a cup or glass and cover it with water, leaving it for a couple of hours. Then, add it to the mate gourd as you would with used yerba.
    3. The next day Remove the yerba with a spoon and lightly scrape the interior.
    4. Repeat from step number 2.
    5. Rinse it, leave it dry.

     

    Now you have your mate ready to use.
