Each year millions of people consume over 8 million pounds of yerba mate tea using the gourd and bombilla. For most Uruguayans and Argentinians it is a part of their daily lives, permeating throughout their work, family, friendships, and love. It is described by many as something that awakens your soul. As they often say, "Mate es vida!" Mate is life!

TRADITIONS

People drink and carry it most anywhere and usually enjoy it 3 times per day, then again whenever meeting with friends.

Yerba Mate is the perfect herb to share with loved ones. It stimulates the mind yet relaxes the body, uplifting the mood and spirit of the moment with a joyous energy. Folks traditionally prefer to share it under a tree together, but it can be enjoyed anywhere at anytime!


Centuries of yerba mate tea sharing have led to some refined rituals that are designed to create a smooth, fluid process. These rituals are common to small and large groups alike.

  • One person prepares the drink and takes the first serving before sharing

The server is referred to as the "Cebador," which translates literally into The Yerba Mate Gourd & Bombilla Server. Whew! That does not translate smoothly because the entire concept does not even have a word in English. Fortunately, being the Cebador is easy and rewarding.

Once prepared, the Cebador takes the first sip to ensure that the bombilla is working smoothly. The cebador also reaps the benefit of that first sip's nutrient and energy packed punch. The Cebador will use this energy to pay attention and make sure everyone is getting some yerba mate.

  • When passing, the bombilla is pointed toward the closest person

This subtle ritual provides enormous clarity and ease. It allows people to focus on the conversation and not have worry about when to reach out for the gourd. It also avoids confusion when the drinker gestures with gourd in hand while having a discussion.

  • The bombilla is left undisturbed

The bombilla is delicately sealed in a suction chamber that is best left undisturbed. Moving the bombilla can break the seal and cause clogging.

  • Recipient drinks entire serving, ending with a sucking sound.
  • Gourd is returned to the person who gave it to you, without saying thank you!

Send it back toward the Cebador by giving it back to the person who gave it to you. You only say thank you when both yourself and the person next to you has said thank you. This ritual allows people to focus on the conversation, and not have the passing of the gourd cause much interruption. This also allows each person to take care of the person next to them, so that the Cebador does not have to interrupt to ask if anyone wants more.

  • Pass it to the next person after you've had a turn

If you have already had your opportunity to drink a serving, then pass it to the next person. You will always take care of the person next to you.

  • When the person on each side of the Cebador says “thank you” to the Cebador, then the Cebador stops serving.

You and your loved ones have been uplifted from an ancient and communal tea ritual that is performed millions of times each year across the globe.
