Hi!I just want to thank you for all your videos !! You motivated me to start drinking this wonderful beverage I just received my second "mate kit",a nice and fragrant palo santo mate and I can't wait to use it. Salud!
Dave quick question,I'm new to this, I saw in a few other videos that one should coat it with butter or oil coconut oil inside and out and then use the yerba mate to seal the pores. Is this correct? Or just an unnecessary extra step. I have 2 sets of carob gourds coming in the mail,thank you,John...
Would one need to re-cure the gourd over time? If so, how often? Just ordered myself a kit with a gourd, spring bombilla, and some Rosamonte. Never tried Yerba mate before so I hope I love it! Though I do love EVERY form of tea and coffee, so I'm sure I will enjoy something like this.
Excellent video! What I learned from my mom and grandma is, instead of using a new yerba, we just drink it first in an old pot, and then, move it to the new one. If you don't have a previous pot/gore, you could use a normal cup :-). My two cents!
Thanks for the Vid. A few years ago when I was in Argentina I overheard someone saying you can use milk and salt to cure it. Id love to get your thoughts?
Hej, thank s for the movie it helps me a lot. By the way, what`s the difference between curing wooden gourd with using natural oil and curing with yerba?
Hi, Can I add a tip? We usually cure the mate with old yerba. So when you have a new mate, you still drink with your old one, and when you finish you put the yerba in the new mate, and you change that yerba every time you drink more mate (usually we drink like 4 times a day, and we don't fill it to the top, so the old yerba occupies half of the new mate, and you can fill it twice a day). Some people put at hot coal at the beginning to seal it better, and even you can put sugar to caramelize it, or orange's peel, wherever you wanted to test like that later.
hey man. I was born in Buenos Aires, my family moved to Montreal Quebec, Canada when I was 5. I remember drinking mate when I was a kid. 50 yrs later, I went back to Buenos Aires, to visit family (don't ask why it took so long),... but it was a wonderful visit.. came back with a mate (gourd), jerbe (Rosemonte)... and my bombija... I am ready to use it. Thanks for the tutorial! I hope to join the circle of drink group for a sip.
MrStargazer1701a Great to connect with you! Keep on enjoying that mate. Here's a link to a small group of mate enthusiasts if you'd like to join and share: facebook.com/groups/circleofdrink/
Yup, that's perfectly fine for drinking mate. The traditional gourd is only one way to drink it. Many new mate drinkers (Materos) appreciate the novelty of the ancient methods, which is great. But at the end of the day, drinking mate in any form is better than nothing :) You may appreciate our facebook group of passionate Materos: facebook.com/groups/circleofdrink/ Salud!
I bought a tiny black calabash on Monday, and I used it right away, before curing it. I cured it the following day. I had a question about drying... I haven't been drying my gourd, because I basically use it every day. Once I am done - early or late evening, I just let my used leaves sit in there with the bombilla. I rinse it out the next day and start over. Am I risking mold or anything like that? The inside seems fragile and soft.
Hi Dave, I got a mate from my sister in law, but she wasn't sure if it was cured or not. Is there any way to tell if your mate has been cured just by looking at it?
Hello Dave. I've recently bought a calabash from Argentina, but in the curing process (I waited for 24 hours) I noticed the calabash is leaking from the bottom (the stem part). When I scraped the interior of the gourd with a small spoon, I swear I didn't even touch the stem. Now I'm waiting for the calabash to dry itself. My question is: should I be worried about that leak or after it dries I won't be having any of these problems? If the leak persists what is the proper solution in order to save my gourd?
Why cure w the mate leaves, can't it cure with just plain lukewarm water? can you cure with any regular tea leaves? or just cure with half the gourd filled up w leaves (seems it's wasteful to waste all those mate leaves.)
what do you reccomend doing with a palo santo wrapped in metal? does it need to be cured? what should i do overtime to not crack it and avoid mould? thanks love ur vid
Circle of Drink hello one question man, i already cure my wooden mate and the next morning has a green colour inside and in the edges, I have to dry it in the sun? or what? thx
Since Yerba mate is an 'acquired' taste of which I am only in the mood sometimes, I started drinking black tea from my gourd since that is a beverage I consume daily. I hope this will have the same long term curing effect as using Yerba regularly.
Hi Dave, I recently bought a mate kit online (gourd w/ metal rim fyi). I cured it last night and I let it sit overnight for 12 hours. However, when I woke up, my gourd was dripping a little bit. Some water seems to be coming out by some way. What can I do? Thanks man, I love your video!
Was it wood or calabash? Where were the drips coming from? You may want to apply a thin coat of coconut or olive oil to the outside of the gourd. Hope this helps!
Hey Dave! So I cured my gourd for 24 hours and i just took all of the yerba out of it but now the gourd has a greenish tint to it. Is there a reason for that/should i be concerned? is it natural thing or is that a form of mold? thanks for you help!
Curar el mate you want to use HOT wather even more if it is if calabash and. The yerba NEEDS to have been used and you want to keep that for about a day and you repeat it for 4 days and your mate will be ready for many many cebadas
Caleb the Yerba gives a batter flavor in the mate, so when you drink it later it doesn’t have any unpleasant flavors that may be in the wood. It’s best to just go for it and buy a cheep Yerba and do it right!
+Arturo Mallard Hey, I'm well. Hope you are, too. I suggest you skip the cure and start using right away. Curing is highly optional and most done with calabash gourds.
+Circle of Drink the gourd I have is a calabash gourd my parents brought years ago from Argentina. I wanted to cure it because it has been used as an ornament all this time. I already cleaned it with a spoon (1st step). Do you still recommend not to cure it? The inside looks almost new except for a blackish spot, don't think is mold, but who knows. Thank you.
I recommend start using it right away, with proper water temp. Join our group on facebook. It's a great place to connect with fellow Materos: facebook.com/groups/circleofdrink/
Hey Dave! I just started drinking from a calabash mate yesterday and I noticed this morning that there were little white mildew/mold hairs. I've heard people suggest rinsing the inside of the wooden mate with vodka (or any high alcohol content liquid) and setting it on fire to get rid of mold. Is this ok for calabash mates also? thanks a million in advance my friend!
Hermano, few questions: 1-In other sources i read that one most repeat this process for around 8 days, you say only 2: why so? does the amount of time really matter? 2- Could you explain el curado process for a Palo Santo wooden mate, please? Mucho love.
+Valensky Mata No more than a day is necessary to cure any gourd. For palo santo, I don't advise curing at all. You should be fine to use right away, just make sure your water temp is below 180ºF.
hey what about palo blanco covered with aluminium, should i cure that or use it right away? thanks very much for your advice. cheers. (p.s. until now, I use a ceramic recipient, another palo blanco gourd passed away, e.g. got mold inside :)
My brother came back from a LDS mission In Cordoba Argentina and brought back mate. He's got me hooked. But question is it bad if it sits for more then 12 hours?
just wanna ask, i left water in my brand new gourd with no mate in it for around 10 minutes. when i poured the water out it was brown. Did this again and the water was still brown. is this normal?
Can you reuse the yerba mate for the second 12hr leg? Where I live its very expensive to buy and i'm trying to do it properly but save some yerba haha.
+hitler hairdo I no longer rely on curing gourds. It's optional, but not necessary. I recommend starting to use your gourd right away, with water temps. below 185ºF.
Because it can result in the gourd breaking if there are weak internal structures within. If the gourd is already solid, then curing for the purpose of adding flavor to the gourd is fine.
It was all cool, watching with my kiddos learning something new, very informative, well done...then the lyrics to the song at the closing of the video...all respect lost😑😔
Sure, that's fine. Just make sure to let it rest every other day or so to fully dry out. Here's a video on the matter: Mold in Yerba Mate Gourd? Here's How to Save it...
Hola amigo. Question here: l have a mate that my pastor gave me as gift years ago like back in 2007. I cured it and actually he did it before that. So this year l found it back btw my stuff and want to start drinking Yerba mate again so l can reduce my coffee consumption. Do I have to repeat this process or once a mate is cured one doesn't have to cure it anymore?
Hi Dave. I'm loving the lignum vitae gourd I got from you today. Thanks! I have cured many calabash gourds but with this new one being mainly lignum sapwood with hardly any pores and with all of its natural oils, do you still recommend a standard 24 hour cure? I was so eager today that I gave it a couple hours of cure and went straight to drinking. :) Salud
Better than coffee. No jitters, lowers cortisol and at the same time has alot of caffeine its really interresting the effects, i cant sleep on coffee, even if drunk hours before bed, bu with this i manage to sleep just fine. And i probably drank equivalent to 200mg caffeine or more just last night. Its magic. Salud from Norway. :-)
Hi everybody im so sad cuz i drink for my first time mate in my new gourd and then i wash it just with water the gourd get in interior a strange colour (like dark green or something) and i think i distroy it :(( help me please of course if you understand my stupid english
That's a wooden mate, not a wooden gourd. You are confusing translation. A gourd is a vegetable. 'Mate' refers to the container, which can be made from a gourd (calabash), wood, glass, or even plastic these days.
Mate is magical... nice! Good video, but really you need to practice how to say Yerba ;) and the Mate Calabaza, i wouldnt wash it first. I'm from Argentina, I cure mates all the time, but there are so many ways
Well said man, just a couple of comments though, I don't cure the gourds like you do but who cares...there are many ways. Yet we must talk about your pronounciation of "yerba". Most South Americans pronounce incorrectly, yes incorrectly (sort of UK vs US), so Argentinians say "sheeeerba" instead of "yerba" (correct Spanish). Now that leads you to say "sherba", knowingly or not mind you you are deforming the Spanish and the Argentinian Spanish in one go. Yerba means grass in Spanish, no more no less and it's pronounced "yeahrba". Perhaps you already knew! Thanks for your vids.
Hi!I just want to thank you for all your videos !! You motivated me to start drinking this wonderful beverage

Is there a difference in taste drinking from a traditional gourd compared to a modern metal-interior-lined gourd? Thx
As time goes on do you ad hot water or room tempature water?
love the kendrick closeout! Salad Dave!

So when you have a new mate, you still drink with your old one, and when you finish you put the yerba in the new mate, and you change that yerba every time you drink more mate (usually we drink like 4 times a day, and we don't fill it to the top, so the old yerba occupies half of the new mate, and you can fill it twice a day).

thank you Dave! i love my gourd and mate!
Nice video but what is that song at the end??? Wholesome video and then hard hard lyrics at the end?
I followed your instructions for curing my gourd. But curious, what did you do with the yerba that you used for curing?
I want to ask : Can it be prepared in ordinary cups ? and why not..
It sure can. The mate gourd is just easier and more traditional.
Yup, that's perfectly fine for drinking mate. The traditional gourd is only one way to drink it. Many new mate drinkers (Materos) appreciate the novelty of the ancient methods, which is great. But at the end of the day, drinking mate in any form is better than nothing :)

Do you take mate through US TSA' checkpoints?

late, but for future people who come here its totally normal for yerba to stain the gourd green
In case of a wooden mate, if it's not well cured, is possible that it will get like green mold? what should we do in that case?
Juan Pablo Franco Mold can’t survive when the gourd is dry. Place it in the sun for several hours.
What happens if you use a plant gourd before curing it?
Should be fine. It'll cure on its own over time.

Do all gourds require curing? I bought one from a shop in Uruguay. Is it possible that it might be already cured? how do I know?
dont go crazy about it, just pour some boiling water inside for a few times and you're good to go
Does it have to be cured with Mate? why cant i just let water sit in there? Thanks for the video, very informing!

Gabriel Hoops lmao xD
Well said man, just a couple of comments though, I don't cure the gourds like you do but who cares...there are many ways. Yet we must talk about your pronounciation of "yerba". Most South Americans pronounce incorrectly, yes incorrectly (sort of UK vs US), so Argentinians say "sheeeerba" instead of "yerba" (correct Spanish). Now that leads you to say "sherba", knowingly or not mind you you are deforming the Spanish and the Argentinian Spanish in one go. Yerba means grass in Spanish, no more no less and it's pronounced "yeahrba". Perhaps you already knew! Thanks for your vids.
yes, the moment he said it that way, I just stopped the video....
The video was informative, but the pronunciation of some of the words were horrific.
