One of the finest imperial mates you'll ever come across. Handcrafted in Argentina, take your time and admire all the details built into this gourd because there's a lot to take in. From the textured croc leather wrapped around the calabash... to the chiseled designs on the metal rim.. and finally, to the decorative metal base that holds it all together and stands this masterpiece up on its own four balled feet. This is not just a mate gourd, but a work of art.
Capacity - medium and large
It’s recommended you cure your gourd before use. (The design on the top rim, and the size and shape of each gourd varies from the pictures shown, as no two gourds are the same. The croc-pattern and shade of burgundy may also slightly vary.)
Dimensions (approx.): 4.0 x 4.25 in.
FAQs
FAQs
Can I Pick A Specific Design/Size?
Unfortunately, no. Calabashes are 100% natural and each one is unique in shape, size, and capacity. In addition, the virola (metal rim) are all handmade and each mate comes with a different design.
The best we can do is give a range of a gourd's dimensions and capacity. If you prefer a size, you may always feel free to reach out with specifications and we'll always do our best to accommodate, but can't always guarantee it.
How To Cure Mate Gourds
Before your first use, cure your mate gourd to remove excess 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).
How To Clean Mate Gourds
Calabash gourds should be cleaned immediately after use with only warm water. Rinse out all the yerba and pat dry. Do not use soap or other cleaning products as this can be absorbed and affect the taste of your mate.
How To Prevent Mold In Mate Gourds
Mold growth is caused by how the mate dries after being used (not an issue with the gourd itself). For best prevention, after patting your gourd dry with a paper towel, rest it on its side in a dry, well-ventilated room (directly by a fan for best results). Do not mistake the natural green staining from the yerba for mold. Mold will appear as fuzzy white/green spots.
