THIS SET INCLUDES
1 pre-cured Gourd with Alpaca Silver Rim. GREAT for STARTERS! THIS SMALL GOURD DOES NOT REQUIRE TOO MUCH TEA TO BE FILLED!
-Pre-cured gourds have been burned inside removing the majority of the soft membrane of the calabash.
This also leaves a smoky taste to the gourd which you may or may not like.
Therefore you will need to only do the curing process one time. The smoky taste will eventually go away the more you
use the gourd-
An Alpaca bombilla - straw
The most traditional way to drink yerba mate is like the Indians did - from a cup (gourd) and straw (bombilla). Genuine mate drinkers say a well "cured" mate contributes to the good taste of the drink. Also by using the cup and straw it forcibly removes far more of the valuable nutrients which yerba mate has to offer. Other methods do not. You
will need to try your own combination of cups and straws as yerba mate will taste differently in each type. Each person must experiment to find which best suits his taste
!
Yerba Mate cups can be made from many different types of material.
These include the natural gourd, wood, horns, ceramic, glass or metal.
