Waking up to a warm maté gourd is one of the great pleasures of Argentine life. The natural fit of the vessel in your palm complements the energizing infusion within.

Our mates are hand-crafted by Argentine artisans. We pay prices above the norm in order to support decent standards of living for these talented artisans, but we make a special effort to keep our mates affordable to our customers. Gourds naturally vary in size and shape, but most are the size of a medium apple. These mate vessels are ideal for enjoying yerba mate traditional-style with a bombilla. And remember, it is necessary to cure your maté gourd before use. This process removes the bitter gourd taste from the vessel.
