    Highlights

    What’s Inside: Introducing our Colonia Sun
    Uruguayan-style bombilla, crafted from premium alpaca silver (German silver). Slightly shorter than our other premium bombillas, measuring 6 3/4 inches, it features a wider stem and mouthpiece for optimal flow. The higher volume of filter holes makes this bombilla ideal for Uruguayan style yerba mate cuts such as Canarias, Baldo, and Sara.

    The Colonia Sun Name: Named after the beautiful city of Colonia, Uruguay, our Colonia Sun bombilla is designed with both style and functionality in mind. Its comfortable and ergonomic design ensures the perfect sip every time, enhancing your yerba mate experience.

    Material: Alpaca silver is a visually stunning alloy composed of 60% copper, 20% nickel, and 20% zinc. Despite its name, it contains no silver or alpaca. Known for its beauty, durability, and
    malleability, alpaca silver also helps maintain the temperature of your mate, ensuring a perfect sip every time.

    FAQs

    What's the difference between stainless steel, alpaca silver, and nickel-plated bronze bombillas?

    Stainless steel: Renowned for its durability, affordability, and resilience, stainless steel bombillas are favored for their long-lasting performance and silver-gray hue. They require minimal maintenance and are ideal for those seeking reliable, everyday use.

    Alpaca silver (aka German silver): Offering a premium silver-like appearance, alpaca silver bombillas add an elegant touch to the mate-drinking experience. While slightly less durable than stainless steel, they appeal to those valuing aesthetics and require occasional polishing to maintain their shine.

    Nickel-plated bronze: Combining the durability of bronze with the corrosion resistance and silver-like finish of nickel plating, nickel-plated bronze bombillas provide a balance of quality, affordability, and aesthetic appeal. They offer a middle ground between stainless steel and alpaca silver options, ensuring consistent heat distribution and longevity while still exuding elegance.

    Care Guide

    To care for alpaca silver bombillas, gently rinse them with warm water after each use to remove any residue. Dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent tarnishing. Periodically polish the bombillas with a silver polishing cloth to maintain their shine and luster. Store them in a dry, cool place away from moisture and humidity to prevent tarnishing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface of the bombillas. With proper care, alpaca silver bombillas will remain beautiful and functional for years to come.
