Bring warmth and tradition to your mate ritual with the Vinotinto Traditional Gourd Mate Cup, a classic way to enjoy yerba mate with a distinctive wine-red finish.

Crafted from natural gourd and paired with a bombilla (mate straw), this mate combines the character of the traditional South American mate with an elegant, warm-toned design.

More than just a cup, it’s an invitation to slow down, prepare your yerba, and enjoy one of Argentina’s most beloved everyday rituals.

Tradition in Every Sip

For generations, natural gourd has been one of the most traditional vessels for preparing and drinking yerba mate. Its organic shape and natural character make each mate feel personal and unique.

The Vinotinto finish gives this traditional piece a distinctive look, combining Argentine heritage with a rich wine-inspired color.

Because it is made from natural gourd, subtle variations in shape, size, texture, and appearance may occur, making each piece unique.

How to Enjoy

Fill the gourd approximately 2/3 to 3/4 full with your favorite yerba mate. Tilt the yerba slightly to one side, place the bombilla in the lower section, and slowly add hot water — not boiling.

Sip through the bombilla and refill with water as you go. Enjoy it on your own or share it with friends, just as mate has been enjoyed across Argentina for generations.

Before Your First Mate

As a traditional natural gourd, this mate should be properly cured before its first use. Curing helps prepare the interior of the gourd for regular use and is part of the traditional mate experience.
