Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our Argentine mate cups.

What is included with a MATEAR mate?

Most mate listings include one bombilla, and several come in premium packaging or with a yerba container. Each Amazon listing shows exactly what is included.

Do I need to cure my mate?

Wooden and calabash mates should be cured before first use. Our guide explains how, step by step. Stainless steel mates do not need curing.

Can I put the mate in the dishwasher?

No. Rinse it with warm water after each use and let it dry completely in open air. Avoid long soaking, especially with wood, calabash and leather.

Is it a good gift?

Yes. Many listings come in premium packaging and are popular with anyone who loves Argentine culture.

Which yerba mate should I use?

Any traditional yerba mate works. Choose the style you enjoy and prepare it with hot water, not boiling.
