FAQs
FAQs
Do Stainless Steel Mates Have To Be Cured?
No. Only natural materials such as calabash, wood, and horn need to be cured. These can be used right away, though a quick rinse is always recommended.
Are Stainless Steel Gourds Better For Beginners?
Absolutely! Stainless steel mates don't have to be cured, are easy to clean, highly resistant to mold, and you don't have to wait for them to dry. Plus, they're perfect for all types of yerbas, flavored or traditional, and cold or hot!
How To Clean Stainless Steel Cups
Stainless steel mates can be treated like any cup and be washed by rinsing thoroughly under warm water. Soap can be used but is not mandatory. Pat dry with a paper towel. If the mate has leather, avoid wetting the exterior.

I got into Yerba Mate because of this creator and decided to give his store and selection a shot. The Mate and Bombilla are both great quality and arrived undamaged. The yerba I received was exactly what I was looking for, nice and bitter and earthy. Sure, I could have gotten the Mate and Bombilla cheaper elsewhere, but the price is worth it to support this amazing creator. 10/10 would recommend!
Thank you so much for supporting and trusting us, Wes!! We're glad we could be apart of your mate journey!
I received my starter kit and was impressed by the high quality materials and the flavorful yerba mate. As a newbie, I found the taste a bit bold at first so it definitely takes some getting used to. I'm still fine tuning the strength that works best for me, but let me tell you, after that first sip, I felt like I could run a marathon. Now I understand why so many people are hooked!
Thanks for giving our starter kit a shot, Erick! We're glad you enjoyed it. And yes, for a first timer, yerba mate will typically be a bit strong but you quickly get accustomed with each mate. We also recommend a lower water temp of 140F to reduce the bitterness, and then work your way up from there!
