CICLO Cafayate Clay Ceramic Mate Gourd

Bring warmth and tradition into your daily mate ritual with the CICLO Cafayate Clay gourd. Handcrafted by Lourdes and Juan in Buenos Aires, this insulated ceramic mate draws from the desert valleys of northern Argentina, where sun, sand, and clay meet. The glaze reflects the natural tones of Cafayate’s rugged terrain, blending artisan design with practical daily use.

The First of Its Kind in the U.S.
CICLO gourds are the only insulated ceramic mate gourds available in the United States. Their proprietary double-wall design keeps your drink warm and your hands cool, all without needing any curing.

What’s Included
• 1 CICLO Cafayate Clay insulated ceramic gourd
• 1 Stainless steel bombilla
• 1 Handmade canvas bag
• 1 Quick Start Guide

The CICLO Story
CICLO Studio was founded in 2020 by Juan and Lourdes, partners in life and craft. What began in a family garage has grown into a full ceramic studio they built together in Buenos Aires. Juan brings architectural design and 3D modeling. Lourdes handcrafts each piece and captures its story through photography. This collaboration with Yerba Crew celebrates craftsmanship, connection, and keeping the human side of commerce alive.

Inspired by the Earth
Cafayate Clay is named after the desert landscape of Cafayate, where clay-colored hills and dry winds shape the valleys. The warm glaze echoes those natural tones and grounds each sip in the spirit of the land.

Artisan-Crafted with Purpose
Each gourd is formed by hand using high-temperature stoneware clay sourced from Patagonia. The double-wall design is CICLO’s own innovation, combining traditional methods with modern performance. No curing required.

Why This Size Works
With a 130ml capacity (about 4.4 oz), this gourd supports the personal mate ritual that’s become common in Argentina today. It’s easy to refill, efficient with your yerba, and holds temperature well between pours.

Sustainable Touches
Each set ships in a recyclable tube that can be reused to store yerba or your bombilla. The included canvas bag is sewn by a women’s cooperative in Argentina and supports dignified local work.
