Also remember to clean your bombilla before first use and maintain it regularly.
A 100% ARTISANAL PRODUCT
Each gourd is handmade, which means slight variations in size, shape, or color may occur from one model to another. These differences are not defects but a reflection of their authenticity. Each piece is unique, just like the craftsmanship of the artisan who created it. This singularity is what makes the mate imperial so beautiful.
