A true product of nature, a maté gourd is a special tea drinking vessel from southern Brazil. Made from a kind of marrow, it is perfect, nay essential, if you love maté or would like to get passionate about it. It is the authentic and most tasty way to drink maté.
Maté is believed to have been drunk for thousands of years by the indigenous people of South America. It is a great, healthy alternative to coffee, for those who want to stimulate the mind without palpitating the heart or suffering the pits and troughs of caffeine.
This set includes a beautiful metal bombilla straw and a large gourd, similar to the one pictured.
(IMPORTANT: Gourds come naturally uncured. We recommend curing them before usage by carefully scraping out any debris and infusing 3 tablespoons of maté for 24 hours)
If you prefer, you can add a 500g bag of maté to your set here:
