Pour. Sip. Share.
The ritual, made simple.
Mate rewards attention, not perfection. Use these steps as a foundation, then adjust until the pour feels yours.
- 01
Fill your gourd two-thirds with yerba.
- 02
Cover the top, turn it sideways, and shake gently.
- 03
Tilt to form a yerba mountain with a hollow beside it.
- 04
Add a little 70°C / 158°F water to the hollow and let it settle.
Avoid boiling water; it can make the infusion taste unnecessarily harsh.
- 05
Place the bombilla into the wet pocket. Sip, refill, and share.
