In this yerba mate kit, you'll find one of our most loved CRIOLLO Mate Gourd. Simple and plain, you get to show off the natural beauty of your calabash along with its fitted leather base to support it. Some are thick, some are thin, some are wide, some are slim, but we can guarantee each one to be one-of-a-kind - and pairs perfectly with our HELIX Spoon Bombilla.
- Includes a natural calabash with a leather base, stainless steel spoon bombilla, and 500g bag of Canarias
- Gourd features a "camionero" shape for a wide opening and makes forming mountains easier
- Stainless steel bombilla for molding the mountain and smooth filtration

For those who want to experience the tradition of mate in its simplest form, this is the kit for you.
It’s recommended you cure your gourd before use. (The gourd and base varies from the pictures shown as the gourds are natural and the base is handmade)

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.
