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.

After each infusion:

• Empty the gourd
• Rinse with lukewarm water (no soap)
• Let it air dry

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.
