    ALGARROBO WOOD AND SHAPE - This mate is made from the Algarrobo tree which grows near the Gran Chaco region in Argentina. Algarrobo is known for its resilience and ability to be shaped very well. This allows for beautiful curves to be carved into this mate perfectly fitting the hand. The exterior has a smooth polish for smooth handling and looks. The curved stainless steel rim adds to the beauty and durability of the mate.

    La Merced De Campo : Suave y amigable is excellent and known for its lighter intensity but long-lasting flavor. The La Merced De Campo yerba  is aged for 12 months giving the yerba time to reach its goal of a soft and balanced flavor.

    The La Merced brand: is known for the highest quality yerba mate from some of the best regions in Argentina.

    Recommend for: La Merced is great for all ranges of yerba drinkers. I recommend this as one of my favorites for people just starting out or for more experienced users. 

    THE LIBERTAD GOURD- The gourd is about 3 ½ in wide and 4 in high. It weighs in at 8 oz and has a volume of around 6 oz. The key material is Algarrobo wood with a dark brown exterior glaze. The upper rim is made from stainless steel. See the "FAQs" tab for curing and maintenance instructions for the mate.

    THE YERBA CREW SILVER BOMBILLA - Made from stainless steel and 6.1 in (155mm) in length working perfectly with the size of the Yerba Crew gourd.

    THE YERBA CREW BOMBILLA CLEANER - Made from stainless steel and 7 in (178mm) in length with nylon bristles can be used to clean deep inside your bombilla when you do your periodic bombilla cleaning.

    LA MERCED DE CAMPO - 500 grams of Suave y amigable, excellent, and known for its lighter intensity but long-lasting flavor. The La Merced De Campo yerba is aged for 12 months giving the yerba time to reach its goal of a soft and balanced flavor.

    Will my gourd look exactly like the picture?
    The quick answer is “mostly”. We aim to keep the gourds about 85% consistent with the design but the handmade nature of the production allows for color and shape variations. Each gourd is unique and one of a kind.

    How do I cure the wooden gourd?
    We recommend rubbing the exterior wood with mineral oil or coconut oil and letting it sit for 3 hours. Gently wipe the mate with a towel to remove the excess oil. This should help seal some of the natural pores.

    How do I maintain the wooden gourd?
    To maintain your wooden mate, try not to leave yerba in the mate once you finish drinking from it. Gently wash the mate and dry it after each use. Let it dry with the opening facing up to allow for good airflow. Do not leave it soaking in water to avoid splitting and mildew. After multiple uses, feel free to rub mineral oil on the exterior and let it sit for about 3 hours. Remove the excess oil after by gently wiping it down with a cloth or a paper towel. Your mate will have a nice renewed shine.

    When does the yerba mate expire? All the yerba we ship has at least 12 months of shelf life before it expires.

    How long will this last me? If you drink one mate per day (about 40g of yerba), 500g of yerba will last you about 12 and a half days and 1000g is about 25 days. My method is to plan for 2 bags of 1kg yerba per month.

    How much caffeine is in yerba mate? About 80mg of caffeine per cup however the amount varies based on whether you are drinking using traditional or mate cocido prep methods.

    Where should I store yerba mate?
    Store in a dark, dry, and cool location like inside a cabinet.

    How do I keep the yerba mate fresh?
    After the bag is opened, you can either store the yerba in a sealable container or use a rubber band to keep the bag closed. Check out our yerberas and dispensers for optimal storage!
