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 sandy natural finish. 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.

HOW DO I CURE THE WOODEN GOURD? - For the Gaucho gourd, fill it with warm water for about 30 seconds and then empty it. You can then use the gourd for your first mate session. After a few sessions, the mate will be cured.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN THE 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 cloth or a paper towel. Your mate will have a nice renewed shine.
