Yerba Mate Tea, Gourds and Bombillas  Yerba Maté has more antioxidants than green tea for fending off free radicals. It offers calm energy from caffeine, theobromine (the euphoric stimulant in dark chocolate) and theophylline (the soothing stimulant in tea), which provide a sustained boost without a crash.  Yerba Mate' is an amazingly healthy herb, sought after for its difficult to find nutrients: Vitamins B-1, B-2, riboflavin, carotene, colin, pantothenic acid, inositol and 15 amino acids. It also contains significant quantities of the all important iron, potassium and magnesium minerals, something green tea lacks.  Some of the stated benefits of Yerba Mate' are: Increased mental focus, increased energy, reduces hunger cravings, relaxes muscles, relieves allergies, improves your mood, burns more calories, improves sleep, benefits the digestive tract, boosts the immune system, is a good detoxifier, may reduce some health risks of diabetes and hypoglycemia, possibly reduces some heart problems, a stroke and some cancers.

Natural Gourd Curing Instructions* Pour some yerba mate' into the gourd. Fill the gourd to the top with water. Let the gourd sit filled with water and yerba mate' for a day or two. Then discard the water and yerba mate. Clean the inside of the gourd with boiling water only. Dry the gourd in a window or other warm and dry area. When dry, it is ready for use. *It is not necessary to cure a gourd as natural gourds will cure naturally with use. The benefit of curing the gourd is improved taste of the yerba mate' and improved durability of the gourd.

Bombillas Use a stainless steel bombilla. It is the safest, best metal for a bombilla. Try a gold tip for sensitive lips (or any natural wood bombilla.) Item's true color may vary slightly from photo color.
