Frequently Asked Questions about the Matesur Argentina World Champions Mate Cup

How do I cure a natural calabash mate before using it?
Fill the mate with used, damp yerba mate and add a small amount of warm or hot water, no hotter than 80°C / 176°F. Let it rest for 24 hours, making sure the water does not reach the stainless steel rim to help prevent leaks. The following day, remove the yerba with a spoon and gently scrape the interior surface of the calabash. Remove excess moisture with a paper towel and let the mate air dry for several hours. Repeat the process five more times before preparing your first mate. Dark green spots may appear inside the calabash during the curing process; this is normal. Regular use will continue improving the cure.

What is the mate made from?
It is handcrafted from a natural Brazilian calabash covered in genuine leather and finished with a mirror-polished stainless steel rim.

Is every mate identical?
