How do I prepare Yerba Mate with this gourd?

Fill the gourd about two-thirds full with yerba mate leaves. Cover the opening with your hand, shake gently to settle the leaves, then remove your hand. Insert the bombilla, tilt the gourd slightly, and pour warm (not boiling) water into the space created by the bombilla. Sip slowly and refill as needed. The gourd requires curing before first use.

How do I cure my natural gourd?

To cure your natural gourd, fill it with yerba mate leaves and warm water, let it sit for 24 hours. Discard the leaves and water, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat this process for 2-3 days. This step prevents cracking and prepares the gourd for optimal flavor.

Can I use this gourd for other teas?

While designed for Yerba Mate, the natural gourd can be used for other herbal infusions. However, it's recommended to dedicate the gourd solely to Yerba Mate to prevent flavor contamination. For other teas, consider a separate ceramic or glass cup.

Is this gourd dishwasher safe?

No, this natural pumpkin gourd is strictly hand wash only. Dishwashers can damage the natural material, leading to cracking or warping. Always clean with warm water and the included brush, and ensure it dries completely before storing.

What is the capacity of the BALIBETOV Yerba Mate Gourd?

The BALIBETOV Yerba Mate Gourd has a capacity of approximately 207 ml (7 fluid ounces), suitable for a standard serving of Yerba Mate.

How to choose a Yerba Mate gourd?

Are there any side effects of drinking Yerba Mate?
