ENJOY YOUR MUCH-DESERVED BEVERAGES WITH THE BEST KIND OF CONTAINER

If you happen to get your hands on quality tea or coffee, it’s only fitting that you drink them from the appropriate glass or mug. This is most especially true with Yerba Mate tea. Due to its delicious taste, more people are starting to turn their heads to this South American beverage.

To really get into the trend, you’re going to need yerba mate gourds, which will make both preparing and drinking easier and delightful. Moreover, enjoying tea is not just about the taste. You have to get into the full experience to maximise what your drinks can offer.

The Yerba Mate Ceramic range by Gaucho Bruno is designed to mimic the natural gourd, but with all the convenience of ceramics!

NATURAL LOOK, NO FUSS

Our natural ceramic range of yerba mate cups are designed to mimic the natural gourd. They look great, and come with the advantage that they are simple to care for, no curing, no mould, no fuss!

WHY CERAMIC?

Yerba Mate tea is an exceptionally unique tea traditionally consumed in the central and southern regions of South America. It’s also called the “drink of the Gods” by many indigenous South Americans. Aside from its superb taste, what separates Yerba Mate from other beverages is the one-of-a-kind drinking experience that comes along with it.

Traditionally yerba mate is drunk from a natural gourd, so why would you choose a ceramic mate cup? Our ceramic cup is far simpler to care for than a natural gourd. No curing necessary and no mould formation between uses. Simply rinse and use from day one.

ELEGANT & SOPHISTICATED DESIGN

Our gourd features a sleek build and ergonomic design that makes holding them feel good on your palms. It is a sight to behold on any table or occasion. We have designed a range to mimic various types, designs, shapes and sizes of natural gourds, so your ceramic mate cup will still look the part!

Lightweight and portable, you can use it at home, whether indoor or outdoor, and take it with you to work or while travelling.

ADDITIONAL COMBO

We know how much you love your tea, especially if you’re having Yerba Mate. Don’t you hate it whenever you spill a drop? We can also imagine the look of disappointment and frustration on your face whenever you have to clean a puddle of wasted tea on the table or the floor. You can also purchase our bombilla straws to ensure seamless sipping, and our precision pour sprout popularly called “pico cebador” to make pouring easier and safer. Now, you get to enjoy every single drop!

PRECISION POUR

The yerba mate flask available as part of this selection features the iconic red “pico cebador” precision pour spout.

Simply flip up and pour with exactitude. The spout can also be unscrewed to reveal a second, wide-pour spout, which is ideal for fast pour for coffee, terere and other drinks.

LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT MATE

Aside from providing you with the appropriate drinkware for your tea, coffee and juice, each of our ceramic cups comes with an instruction manual. You get a step-by-step guide on how to make the perfect Yerba Mate tea. This way, you can improve your craft and tea-making skills. Unlike other gourds that only provide a container for your various drinks, Gaucho Bruno will also equip you with the competency of tea-making!

HOW TO BEST PREPARE YERBA MATE THE TRADITIONAL WAY

PREPARE YERBA MATE THE TRADITIONAL WAY

What do I do to prepare my yerba mate?

How you prepare your yerba mate is so important. If you get it right, your infusion will be delicious, and the yerba itself will retain its flavour for twice as long. Get it wrong and you might be faced with a bitter drink. Practice makes perfect so keep trying! A simple rundown of the steps are:

Fill your gourd 3/4 full with yerba mateCover the top with your hand and shake up and down. Why? To bring the fine ‘dust’ particles to the top and help prevent blockage of the bombilla. Return the gourd to a tilted position and you will see the ‘dust’ on your hand, and the yerba will be on a slant (important for the next step).Next you need to pour in cool water (room temperature is ideal) and allow the water to soak into the yerba. This causes the yerba leaves to swell and prevent blockage of the bombilla. Allow a couple of minutes for all the water to be absorbedRepeat this step but add warm water nextOnce all the water is absorbed (after a couple of minutes), use the bombilla to accentuate the ‘bridge’ – make a wall between to the levels of yerba (one half is wet, the other is higher, and dry).Then dig in the bombilla with the ‘spoon’ curved towards the middle of the gourd, scrape the bombilla down the outside wall of the gourd on the side where the yerba is wet. Now don’t move the bombilla – each time you move the bombilla significantly the mate will be very bitter!Your yerba mate is now ready to serve – pour water into the lower side of the yerba, and drink it! Keep repeating this step

Expert Step: Making the most of your yerba As the flavour reduces (the yerba is ‘washed’) gently move the bombilla in a digging motion to the other side. As you do so you will turn the higher side into the ‘dip’ where the bombila will now sit. Careful as you do it so as not to make the yerba extremely bitter. If you are an expert you could gradually move the bombilla round between servings. You will literally get twice as many servings if you can master this trick, but it will take a little practice to do so without affecting the flavour on the way round!
