Classic Gourd and Bombilla

Accessories

Yerba mate comes from the naturally caffeinated leaves of a native species of holly tree, Ilex paraguariensis, found deep in the South American Atlantic rainforest.

Quantity

Traditionally, yerba mate is infused with hot water in a hollowed-out gourd. The liquid is filtered through a metal straw called a bombilla and is usually shared among friends who take a sip and pass it along.

Pour, sip, pour, pass, repeat!

This tradition has been passed down for generations: yerba mate awakens the mind, brings people together and creates a community that stretches around the world.
