Product Review

Can be used with any types of loose leaf tea.

HOW TO USE:

1) Fill the container with a daily serving of loose tea. (Up to 40 grams)

2) Gently shake so that the tea is on one side, leaving an open area on the other side.

3) Insert the filtered end of the bombilla into the bottom of the gourd.

4) Gently pour a little cold water into the open area to moisten the tea leaves. This protects the flavor and health properties. Leave the mate gourd tilted until the yerba mate has absorbed the water.

5) Add hot (no hotter than150 degrees F.) water until it reaches just below the top of the tea. Sip from the bombilla until all the liquid is gone, then add more hot water. The first few drinks are strong; the flavor will soften as more water is added for each drink.

6) Now that the gourd is prepared, drink it, add more hot water and serve your friends one at time in a circular fashion. Basically, pour, pass, sip. Let them know not to move the bombilla, as to not disturb the brew.

7) The mate gourd can be refilled 15-20 times.
