Preparing Your Yari Tea Yerba Mate Gourd

  1. Fill your Yari Tea stainless steel gourd two-thirds full with your preferred Yari Tea looseleaf yerba mate blend.
  2. Tilt the gourd to one side and gently shake to create a slope.
  3. Insert your Yari Tea bombilla straw into the slope, ensuring the filtered end touches the bottom.
  4. Put a small (25-50mL) amount of cold water in the gourd - jues enough to wet the yerba mate.
  5. Pour hot water (80­°C/175°F) into the empty space of the gourd until it reaches the top. Don't add boiling water as this will burn the yerba mate, resulting in a bitter flavour.
  6. Allow the yerba mate to absorb the water for a few seconds.
  7. Sip and enjoy the delightful flavors of Yari Tea's looseleaf yerba mate in your stylish gourd!
  8. Refill as needed with hot water. Repeat steps 1-7 when you need to refresh the yerba mate leaves, approximately every 7-10 water refills.
