Bring the Mate Experience Home
Inspired by the landscapes where yerba mate is part of daily life, this 3-pack features Iguazú, Bariloche, and El Chaltén. Each design reflects a different side of Argentina’s nature, from waterfalls to mountains to open wilderness, like a small Argentina souvenir you can bring into your everyday routine.
Drink to Connect, Wherever You Are
Part of the Drink to Connect mindset is connecting with something deeper, whether that’s tradition, nature, or the places where mate is shared. These coasters bring a piece of that experience into your home, whether you’ve been there or are just discovering it.
Designed for Everyday Mate Moments
Lightweight and easy to use, these coasters are made for daily setups. Whether you’re drinking mate at your desk, on your coffee table, or sharing with friends, they add a clean and functional layer to your space.
A Simple Upgrade to Your Setup
An easy add-on to any gourd or bundle, and a thoughtful small gift for anyone building their mate ritual. Priced as a bundle to offer better value than buying individual pieces. The mate gourds featured in the Argentina Nature designs are also available on Yerba Crew, making it easy to create a complete and cohesive setup.
Design & Inspiration
Each set includes three designs inspired by Argentina’s landscapes:
- Iguazú Falls - lush waterfalls and tropical forest right in the heart of where yerba mate is grown. When I first arrived, it felt like walking into Jurassic Park,dense, alive, and unforgettable.
- Bariloche - beautiful mountains and lakes known for winter skiing and summer escapes, with wide-open views that define Patagonia’s calmer side.
- El Chaltén - a mountain town built around adventure, looking up at Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, where hiking trails and rugged peaks shape everyday life.
The artwork reflects the environments where mate is part of the culture and daily routine, bringing a sense of place into your everyday setup. Whether you’ve visited these regions or not, each coaster acts as a small Argentina souvenir tied to the experience of drinking mate.
