HANDMADE STONEWARE - The Yerba Crew Handmade starter kit comes with 1 Puma Gold handmade stoneware ceramic gourd,1 Stainless steel bombilla,1 Cleaning brush, 1 complimentary gourd sleeve, and maybe some extra goodies
A UNIQUE COLLAB - Each handmade mate gourd is unique due to the production style of our collaborator Ildikó Károlyi. We use the design as a guideline but allow for a 15% difference in styling between each cup to allow for the cups to form naturally as they are being turned and shaped.
THE PUMA GOLD NAME - This beautiful handmade stoneware yerba mate gourd resembles the elusive Puma of Argentina, with its beautiful coat, blending with the natural Patagonia landscape.
At Yerba Crew, we have a passion for beauty in simplicity, whether the simplicity is design, production processes, or usage. We were immediately drawn to Ildikó Károlyi’s beautiful stoneware and ceramic work, specifically the mates for yerba. The rawness, simplicity, and beauty behind taking clay, and using your hands with basic equipment and fire to create such a high quality product that can be used for a lifetime is an awesome connection between human and the earth beneath us.
