CARING FOR YOUR MATE

Before first use, it is essential to perform a traditional or alcohol-based curing to prepare your mate and ensure an optimal experience. This ritual purifies the gourd and prevents mold.

Each piece is unique, just like the craftsmanship of the artisan who created it. This singularity is what makes the mate imperial so beautiful.
