WILL MY GOURD LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE? - 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 cup is unique and one of a kind

DOES THE GOURD GET HOT? - Quick answer is “it depends”. When drinking yerba mate, the gourd is perfectly fine to handle with your hands because the majority of the cup is filled with yerba leaves and the temp of the water is between 160 - 180°F. When drinking standard teal with boiling water above 180°F, the gourd will heat up so you should use the provided sleeve or allow time for the gourd and water to cool down to a handling temperature.

ARE THESE FOOD SAFE? - Quick answer is “Yes”. The combination of using commercial grade clay and extremely high temperatures (2255°F / 1235°C) produces a food safe product. The high firing temperature seals the clay and makes it non-porous and impervious to water absorption.

WILL IT BREAK IF I DROP IT?- Quick answer is “probably”. These stoneware mates are strong but they are still made of clay and will most likely chip, crack, or break if dropped more than a few feet from the ground.

HAND WASH- For long term usage, it is best to hand wash ceramic mates. Machine washing will not destroy the mates but it may cause the colors to fade over time.

TRY NOT TO DROP - These stoneware mates are strong but they are still made of clay and will most likely chip, crack, or break if dropped more than a few feet from the ground.
