How to Prepare a Mate
1
Add the yerba
Fill your mate gourd about ¾ full with yerba mate. This creates the right space for water and helps the flavor stay balanced.
2
Tilt and shake
Cover the top with your hand, turn it upside down, and gently shake. This mixes the leaves and keeps the taste smooth and even.
3
Create a slope
Tilt the gourd so the yerba forms a 45° angle inside. The higher side will be the perfect spot to place the bombilla later.
4
Pour water
Add a little warm (not hot) water on the lower side. Let the yerba absorb for 30 seconds so it gets moist and ready.
5
Insert bombilla
Place your bombilla into the damp spot and keep it still. Once it’s set, avoid moving it to maintain the flavor flow.
6
Add water
Pour hot water (75–80°C / 170°F) slowly near the bombilla. Sip, refill, and repeat, and enjoy your perfect mate ritual.
