"MANTO" Stainless Steel Camionero Mate Gourd
$40.00 USD
Free US Shipping For Orders $60+
Description
Get the best of both worlds... the look of a traditional camionero gourd, with the easy-to-clean stainless steel interior! Handcrafted in Argentina, a smooth black leather encapsulates the steel cup and is sealed off with a metal rim. One of our favorites to use as a daily mate. Capacity is a small-to-medium size.
NOTE: Because these are handmade, it is recommended to wash the inside with warm water and soap to clean out any residue from the production process. Also, as these are crafted by attaching to a lathe, surface-level scratches may also appear inside the gourd at the bottom.
Dimensions: 4.0 x 5.0 inches
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.
