Frequently Asked Questions about the Gourd Mate Cup – Traditional Style, Teal (Box of 12)

What is this mate cup made of?
Each mate cup is crafted from a natural calabash gourd with a teal exterior finish and a polished metal rim. As it is a natural material, thickness and internal texture can vary between units.

Is each mate gourd the same color?
All units feature a teal finish, but minor differences in shade, grain, and surface details are normal and part of the handcrafted look.

How should I cure the mate before using it?
Before first use, fill the gourd with yerba mate and warm (not boiling) water and let it rest for several hours. Repeat this process a few times, gently removing any loose internal fibers. This helps seal the pores and prepares the gourd for everyday use.

How do I care for it after use?
Empty the yerba after each use, rinse quickly with warm water (no detergents), and let the gourd dry upside down in a ventilated place. Avoid leaving water inside or storing it in very humid or closed spaces.

Can I use boiling water?
We recommend using hot—but not boiling—water (around 70–80 °C / 158–176 °F) to protect both the yerba and the gourd.

What capacity does it have?
Because of its natural origin and manual production, capacity may vary slightly, but an 8 x 8 cm mate is typically suitable for one or two people.

How many units are included in the box?
Each box includes 12 Gourd Mate Cups with Metal Rim in traditional teal style, ideal for retailers, cafés, and hotels.

Where is it made?
Each mate is handcrafted in Argentina, following traditional techniques with a modern colored finish.
