Where The Ritual Begins

Whether you're watching from the stadium, the couch, or your favorite local spot, every great match starts with a ritual.

Step 1

Fill the gourd with your daily serving of yerba mate.

Step 2

Place hand on top, gently shake gourd up and down, tilt to form a “mountain” of mate on one side.

Step 3

Bury the tip of the bombilla at the bottom. Gently pour a little cold water into the open area to moisten the yerba mate. This protects the flavor.

Step 4

Add hot water (no hotter than 150ºF) until it reaches just below the top of the yerba mate. After a couple of minutes when the water has been absorbed, begin adding more hot water gradually bringing the yerba mate to the perfect drinking temperature.
