Description
Ñandubay Mate – Straight from the Forest, Pure and Rustic
This Ñandubay Wood Mate is a raw, strong, and authentic piece. Hand-carved directly from a solid ñandubay trunk, it retains its natural shape and preserves all the veins, knots, and textures of living wood. No two are alike: each has its own shape, weight, and character.
Mandatory Curing Before First Use
Because it’s a dense, untreated wood, curing is essential before use. This prevents leaks and cracks and allows the wood to adapt to yerba and hot water. The process is simple but crucial to extend its lifespan and enhance the mate’s flavor.
A Piece for Lovers of the Rustic and Real
This is not an industrial mate. It’s a wild, living piece of the forest. Its aesthetic is fully natural, with irregular edges, a hand-carved interior, and a surface polished just enough. If you’re looking for a mate with soul and character, this one’s for you.
