"AUREA" Alpaca Spoon Bombillon

"AUREA" Alpaca Spoon Bombillon

$50.00 USD
Description

A masterpiece to add some flair to your mate! Made of 100% alpaca steel, this bombillon is handcrafted in Argentina and decorated with bronze ornaments, engravings, and a bronze mouthpiece to add a touch of elegance with every sip!

Note: It’s recommended to clean your bombilla before use, as tiny sediments may remain from the manufacturing process. Alpaca steel is a metal alloy commonly used in South America, and will tarnish and develop a patina with use, giving it a rustic look. To maintain your bombilla and keep it shiny, it must be restored with metal polish (tutorial). This is not to be mistaken with rust.

Dimensions: 7.3 in.

Care / Maintenance

Mate Gourds
Before your first use, it's best to cure your mate gourd (if made of calabash or wood) to remove debris and reduce bitter tannins.

  • Fill with hot water (170°F / 77 °C) and steep for 20 minutes.
  • Pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Dry gourd on its side in a well-ventilated spot (a fan works best).

Bombillas
New bombillas should be cleaned to remove any potential manufacturing residue.

  • Boil in water with 1 tbsp baking soda for 10–15 minutes.
  • Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Yerba Mate
Keep yerba mate in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. For green yerba, store in the fridge/freezer to preserve freshness and prevent degradation. An airtight container works best.

Amazing and truly unique bombilla! This is my first one of such high quality — as soon as you take it out of the box, you instantly feel it’s not just another Amazon bombilla. The weight, size, and overall look are on a completely different level. You can really feel the craftsmanship and solid build. Drinking mate becomes twice as enjoyable — the holes in the front and back let the infusion flow super smoothly. Totally worth it! 🧉🌿
