Eye on one side and lotus on the other!

Each one of these cups are finely made out of a solid block of algarrobo wood. Created to last for years, these wooden mates won’t leak. As they season over time, your yerba mate experience will mellow and acquire the mellow-ness of the wood.

We are now offering a new product line from an Argentine artist Carola Lanci. She lovingly paints each cup by hand.

This is a natural product, real wood, the colors will vary, mate to mate.

We are now offering a new product line from an Argentine artist Carola Lanci. She lovingly paints each cup by hand. The "Evil Eye" mate cup is a gorgeous statement. Not necessarily attached to any specific religion, it is mostly considered related to cultures in the middle east.

Each one of these cups are finely made out of a solid block of wood called "algarroobo." With proper care, and the right curing method, these wood mate cups are made to last for years. They won’t leak or crack. As they season over time, your yerba mate experience will deepen and acquire the mellow-ness of the wood.

Wooden mates are another type of mate cup often used in South America to drink yerba. While seemingly sturdy, these wooden mates are actually amongst the most fragile. Like the gourds, they can crack, chip or mold without proper care. in fact, out of all the types of yerba mate gourds, wood is one of the most fragile. Even more so than the gourds. 

Be sure to follow all the directions included with your mate gourd. Take your time with curing. I am currently on my 4th year with my wooden gourd with no problem.

Please hand wash these mates and never use detergent unless necessary. Try not to use water that is too hot either. You do not want the wood expanding and contracting and cracking the paint.
