About Yerba Mate
Yerba Mate
Yerba Mate is a traditional South American beverage made from the leaves of the yerba mate plant.
Yerba Mate is popular in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. It is traditionally consumed from a gourd, through a metal straw called a bombilla.
Yerba mate is known for its energizing effects, and is said to have the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate.
It is high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and is said to boost the immune system, improve mental clarity, and aid in digestion.

Yerba Mate Gourdes
Gourdes
Yerba mate gourdes are traditional containers used to drink yerba mate, a popular South American beverage.
They are typically made from a gourd, a type of hard-shelled fruit, and are often decorated with intricate carvings.
The gourde is filled with yerba mate leaves and hot water, and then sipped through a metal straw called a bombilla.
Yerba mate gourdes are an important part of the culture of many South American countries, and are often passed down through generations.
How to Cure your Yerba Mate Gourd
For your gourd to be ready for use, it needs to be cured. This helps prevent cracking, molding and approves the flavor.
You will notice that the longer you use your gourd, the better your Yerba Mate will taste.
Fill the gourd 1/2 way with Yerba Mate – Pour hot (not boiling) water until it is full. Warning: boring water may crack your gourd.
Let the gourd sit for 24 hours topping it off with water as good absorbs it.
Buen Provecho- Enjoy!
