Green Mate Gourd & Bombilla Set

Great cup, its easy to clean and super sturdy. And the polymer used for it is amazing, it doesn’t get stained by the Mate. Okay so lets talk about the elephant in the room, its not a natural gourd, true. But stop to think about what a natural gourd provides: woody notes. The Mate this brand sells is clean and not smoked, so the taste is clear and crisp, if you put a double dose like I do, its down right pungent, but its amazing quality. So what i will say is this is a great buy for eveyone, once you have a higher dedication to the Yerba, then try to investigate Gourds to see if its for you, the responsibility with those is higher. And the reward is a woody note that usually replaces the pungency, for a complex drinking experience. However this cup is my go to when im on the go, indestructible and fits in oversized cupholders.

Excellent Set!

Exactly as described. Would purchase again. Great as a gift to students during finals’ week in undergrad or professional graduate programs.

Nice set

This is my first time trying Yerba Mate of any kind. I like the gourd and bombilla and the YouTube video showing how to use it was very helpful. The flavor is very mild and I do notice that it's more of a steady flow of energy rather than a jolt of caffeine.
