Yerbero Dispensing Tin with Selecta Compuesta Yerba Mate

Yerba Mate Selecta Compuesta with Refillable Dispensing Tin

Selecta is an important Paraguayan producer of both original and flavoured yerba mate. This stunning dispensing tin – Yerbero- features one of the many wild animals native to Paraguay (design selected at random), and has a double lid system, meaning the tin is exceptionally well sealed, which is ideal for locking in the flavour, and it not diminishing over the period of storeage. The inner lid has a dispensing spout that makes it easy and mess free to pour your yerba into the mate.

This tin would fit 500g yerba mate, and comes with 5 x 35g sample packs of Selecta compuesta with Moringa (a natural, rich source of calcium, protein, potassium and vitamin C), horsetail and burrito. It is  perfect to brew both hot mate and ice cold, refreshing tereré.

This is the stylish way to store and serve your yerba!

Ingredients: yerba mate, moringa, horsetail, burrito

Brewing Your Yerba Mate

The tradition of drinking yerba mate is such an important part of the South American culture, specifically in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, although it is also enjoyed in other South American countries. Typically, it is drunk from a natural gourd (a hollowed out fruit) used as a cup, and then sipped through a metal straw known as a bombilla that has a filtered end to separate the infusion from the yerba leaves.

In Paraguay it is more traditional to enjoy mate or tereré from a Guampa (mate cup made from horn) or a wooden cup, but of course, Paraguayan yerba is just as suited to drinking from a natural gourd, or any other type of mate cup, of course with a bombilla!

With any purchase of loose leaf yerba, full photo instructions will be provided on how to brew the perfect yerba mate. Preparation is key: if you get it right, your yerba will always taste great, and last twice as long. Practice makes perfect!

Please note the photos are for illustration purposes, an animal design will be selected at random. If you have a strong preference for design, please contact us in advance of your order. One dispensing tin is included when you purchase this item.
