This mate bombilla is made entirely of silversmith-grade alpaca, an alpaca that is denser and purer than ordinary alpaca and does not oxidise. It is shaped by hand.

The stem
The stem is hand-chiseled with a leaf motif. An alpaca wire is twisted around it in a spiral, then fixed onto the stem. The knot separating the stem from the spout is chiseled with a floral motif.

The filter
The filter is also made of alpaca. It perfectly filters all cuts of mate, from large leaves to fine cuts.

Use and care
Alpaca conducts very little heat: the spout stays lukewarm, even with water at 80 °C. Rinse the bombilla with hot water after each mate; once a month, clean it with baking soda and polish it with a silver stone (care guide). Cared for in this way, it is guaranteed for life.

Questions?

Everything about your Silversmith Mate Bombilla - Chiseled Alpaca

Does this bombilla suit every cut of mate?
Yes. All our bombillas have the same filtering power, designed to hold back large leaves as well as finer cuts: you can change yerba without changing bombilla. For very fine yerbas, chimarrão or Uruguayan cut, we recommend the Bomba bombilla, which filters more finely. See our guide which bombilla to choose.
What is silversmith-grade alpaca?
Alpaca is a silvery alloy, typical of South American silversmithing: it does not oxidise and keeps its shine. Silversmith grade refers to an alpaca that is denser and purer than ordinary alpaca, reserved for fine hand-worked pieces. This bombilla is made of silversmith-grade alpaca from end to end, wire included.
How do I look after my bombilla?
Rinse it with hot water after each use. Once a month, give it a deep clean with baking soda, then with a silver stone. The step-by-step is in our care guide.
Does the bombilla get too hot on the lips?
No. Alpaca conducts very little heat: the spout stays lukewarm, even with water at 80 °C, unlike steel.
Is this bombilla handmade?
Yes, each piece varies slightly in its finish, chiseling and proportions: every bombilla is unique.
Does this bombilla come with a warranty?
Yes, for life. A rinse after each use and a monthly clean are enough to keep it in perfect condition.
How long is this bombilla?
17.5 cm. This length suits traditional gourds: the filter reaches the bottom of the yerba and the spout comes comfortably to lip height.
What should I do if my bombilla clogs up?
Rinse it with very hot water, filter upwards, to flush the particles out of the perforations. If the flow stays slow, soak it in baking soda. The step-by-step is in our care guide.
