“Torpedo” Dark Yerba Mate Gourd 300ml w/ Heavy Alpaca Rim & Steel Bombilla

Description

Elegant “Torpedo” Dark Yerba Mate Gourd with Heavy Alpaca Rim & Pico de Loro Stainless Steel Bombilla – 300ml Capacity

This mate set embodies pure elegance and sobriety. Crafted from a natural gourd, carefully fire-burned (no dyes) to achieve a deep dark brown—almost black—tone, this piece is both timeless and functional. What makes it stand out is the heavy alpaca silver “torpedo” rim, adding weight and a solid feel in your hand. While this style of rim is commonly found in traditional “torpedo” mates, it’s a rare find in a criollo or standard gourd shape, making this a truly unique item.

The mate holds approximately 300 ml (10 oz) of liquid and fits around 80 grams (2.8 oz) of yerba mate when filled properly (a bit over 3/4 of its total capacity). Its wide mouth opening (6.5 cm / 2.55 inches inner diameter) offers plenty of room to easily build your montañita, adjust the yerba, and enjoy an uncompromised cebado experience.

Included is a 21 cm (8.25 inches) stainless steel Pico de Loro bombilla, featuring a small flat “palita” at the end. This traditional style not only enhances the pouring flow but also allows you to maneuver and remove yerba with precision.

This set is ideal for mate drinkers who appreciate a classic, understated aesthetic and prefer using generous amounts of yerba for long, unhurried mate sessions. Whether for personal use or as a distinguished gift, this mate and bombilla set reflects craftsmanship and elegance at its finest.
