Tribal Ceramic Mate Cup Set

A delightful tribal ceramic mate cup designed to mimic the style of a natural gourd with guarani engravings. Supplied with a stainless steel bombilla.

This mate is perfect for those who don’t want to use a traditional gourd. This tribal ceramic mate cup is perfect if you suffer from acid indigestion (a natural gourd adds flavour and acidity to the brew) and is also more simple to care for, and more durable. Very stylish.

Ceramic mate cups are very convenient as they can be immediately used. Which is instead of curing it. It also can be cared for more simplistically between uses – just rinse and you can forget about it unlike a natural gourd where you have to be sure it is always dry.

Dimensions

The approximate dimensions of this mate cup are:
Diameter at the widest point – 8.5cm
Height – 7cm
Volume – 225ml

Bombilla length is 19cm

Gourd opening a little too small

While the opening of the gourd may be on the smaller side, I believe it's important to note that my experience may be influenced by my relative newness to this practice. Personally, I found that a larger opening would have made manipulation of the leaves with water easier for me as a beginner. However, I can certainly see how more experienced drinkers might not encounter this challenge. Overall, despite this minor setback, I'm still inclined to rate my experience highly at 4 out of 5 stars

Lovely Mate

Hi! Lovely mate at an affordable price. The only issue is that the ceramic is not thick enough, so it overheats at first and it may burn you, so you have to let it cool down for abit before you can have your drink
