Important information about yerba mate for beginners.

A gourd is the traditional vessel for brewing yerba. The advantage of a gourd is that it’s very durable and easy to clean. For starting your yerba mate journey, the best option is:

Ceramic Matero– This is the most commonly chosen and most cost-effective vessel for beginners. It works perfectly with any type of yerba mate, as it doesn’t absorb the flavor and aroma of the infusion. It’s easy and practical to use — after drinking, simply wash it like a regular cup or glass. You can drink both cold-brewed and hot-brewed yerba mate in it, as this vessel is resistant to high temperatures. Among all the vessels, it’s the best in terms of hygiene, as it can be washed with dish soap. It’s very comfortable to hold, and thanks to its shape narrowing towards the top, it also keeps the infusion warm better.

In our opinion, the best vessel is a ceramic one (available in our shop yerbador.com) thanks to its handiness, comfort, but above all its easy care

Bombilla is a special straw made of stainless steel, silver or platinum, ending in a strainer

which we can use to easily filter our yerba mate and separate the infusion from the leaves. Spoon-shaped bombilla– the most commonly found type, with a very practical

a type of filter that strains out even fine dried leaves, and is also great for stirring the infusion. It’s ideal for leafy Yerbador Mate. It’s made of top-quality metal, making it very durable and easy to care for. It has cooling rings that protect us from burning our lips and ensure comfort and a good grip while holding the straw in hand. The purpose of this element is to absorb heat before the mouthpiece to reduce its heating.

You’ll find this type of bombilla on our website yerbador.com

How to Brew Yerba Mate?

Matero (vessel) should be filled with an appropriate amount of dried leaves — at the beginning it’s recommended to use a bit less to get used to the taste. Then you should cover the opening of the vessel with your hand and shake it a few times, so that the lighter particles end up on your hand. The dried leaves should be shaped into a so-called mound, i.e. arranged diagonally at a 45° angle, so that on one side it reaches the very top of the vessel, and on the opposite side it exposes its bottom. Into the empty space, pour a small amount of water, about 30-50 ml, so that the leaves absorb it all. Then place the bombilla straw under the leaves so that it remains stable. The last step is to pour water at a temperature of about 70-80 degrees Celsius over the leaves. The water should be poured slowly and not too abruptly.
