How to use the Mate-Becher balibetov, Modernes Yerba Mate Gourd Set

• Step 1: Prepare the Yerba Mate

Fill the Mate-Becher with Yerba Mate tea leaves till it is about 3/4 full. You may add sugar or other flavors at this point if desired.

• Step 2: Create a Chimarrão mound

Gently tilt the Mate-Becher at a 45-degree angle and create a small mound of Yerba Mate on one side of the becher, creating an empty space on the other side.

• Step 3: Moisturize the mound

Pour a small amount of cold water onto the mound, carefully moistening it without getting the rest of the Yerba Mate wet.

• Step 4: Insert the bombilla

Place the bombilla (metal straw) vertically in the empty space of the Mate-Becher, allowing the filtered end to rest at the bottom of the Yerba Mate mound.

• Step 5: Add hot water

Pour hot water (around 70-80 °C) into the Mate-Becher, ensuring it covers the mound of Yerba Mate and the bombilla without overflowing. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse.

• Step 6: Enjoy your Mate

Sip the Mate tea through the bombilla, avoiding stirring the Yerba Mate. Share it with friends or enjoy it by yourself!
