My friend went on exchange to Uruguay two years ago and he brought mate back with him and he’s taught myself and a few of my friends all about it and how to use it. Up until about a month ago we were using gourds and bombillas we found on amazon. We became proficient in using the cheap things we found. But over spring break my friend went back to Uruguay and brought us all back some real deal gourds and bombillas and we use the same exact spoon bombillas as you for every type of mate we use. Thank you for all the informative videos and keep up the great work! ¡Salud!
I use a under 100 count bombisha for powdery mate and have learned to avoid clogging by being patient and letting the sherba soak and enlarge with the water
Perfect video Dave. You're doing a job to humanity. You've changed the way I see mate - I've been drinking it for 7 years, but 3 years ago i've discovered your channel and your vids and since then I've been drinking ym EVERYDAY.
Thanks alot @circle of drink, i had some very fine yerba Canarias and managed to get a perfect sip without any polvo starting from my first sip with your technique even with my 150 Whole Straw! Just to let you you guys now its very possible if you create a pocket..
Have you ever tried mate cocido?. Instead of using a gourd ( by the way as a gourd you can use any small coffe cup) and bombilla just put to boil water in a 1 or 2qt saucepan. Once done, remove from the stove, add a couple spoons of yerba mate ( you will find the right amount by your taste), stir a little and let it stay for several minutes. Stir again and pour a little of cold water and all the floating yerba will go to the bottom. If you want also can filter it with a cloth strainer or a stainless steel one with very fine holes.
What category of cut would Guayaki so-called “organic mate” fall under? I tried to use a bombilla with a bulb-like strainer, but not sure if I’m doing it right since small particles seem to go through.
I have just started drinking mate. Started off with the tin cans. Then decided to boil mate i found like tea. Discorvered it is not correct to boil and went traditional. So yeah! Going good
Can I ask you a question ? It´s not about Bombillas,,...but about gourds. Can I use a coconut Shell as a gourd ? I make one with a stand and I use it about 3 times, I´ve seen some people re-polishing coconut bowls after 5 or 10 uses but I still wonder,...It´s some kind of wood ? Does it get mold or rotten ? If i start it using every day and re-polishing it some time ? I don´t know so I´m asking for help,...
@@Circleofdrink I am not saying there wasn't any good advise in the video tho, cause now I know what to look for as I am upgrading my bombilia. And thanks to you I will have the words "filter count" for ever stuck in my brain.

I have been scared to try powdery mate but you've given me confidence. Thanks.

👍 Patience is working for me. Also, when sipping through the bombilla, I'm noticing it works better when I do it very slowly with very low pressure

Try fermented mate. It adds a bit of a hallucinogenic property.
I appreciate your video my friend and for educating me. Great tutorial video!!

The information about the water hole is vital. Particularly underneath the Yerba or erva I found

Glad you found the way to make it :)
Literaly, the Will Smith of Yerba Mate!
Would you mind posting the article you mentioned? I'd like to read it. Salud

Filip G Coconut shells work great as Mate gourds. They hold up quite well. Join us here t.me/circleofdrink
Circle of Drink thanks for your advice :)
You're very welcome :)
Thanks man 😀👊🇦🇺
Is it normal that I can feel some very small grains through my bombilla?
That's normal.
@@Circleofdrink Alright thank you!
Queeee un yanki con mate??
Move camera just a hair away. Too close .
Here is a better solution buy some empty tea bags and put one in the bombilla every time you drink mate.
It’s not “bambia” nor “bamba” it’s “bombilla” or “bomba” with “o” and “ll” “bambia” doesn’t exist
This video could literally be 5 mins long.

Holy crap man, lets get you some help with your spanish accent
I beg you! Please help!!! ;)
Dude, you keep repeating the same thing like a bilion times. How many times are you gonna say "filter count" and "not good for powdery stuff"?
Maybe, like, um, ah, a million billion more times.
