A WILD, ORGANIC MATE

Our mate is grown in open nature and thrives in the wild, in the heart of biodiversity, following the agroforestry model.

The terroir and the rigorous, perfectionist work of our partner growers give us a mate that is balanced, smooth and floral.

Tout savoir sur votre Torpedo Alpaca Mate Kit

What is in the Alpaca Torpedo Mate Kit?
The kit brings together an alpaca Torpedo mate gourd with a 5-year warranty, an alpaca bombilla with a lifetime warranty, and 500 g of organic yerba mate of your choice. A getting-started guide is sent to you by email.
Does the bombilla match the gourd?
Yes. In this kit, the bombilla picks up the material of the rim: the gourd with its alpaca rim comes with an alpaca bombilla. The two pieces form a coherent set, designed to go together.
Does the gourd need curing before the first use?
Yes, curing is essential for a calabash gourd. Because our gourds are pre-cured and pre-smoothed by our craftsman, a single night is enough: fill it with mate leaves and hot water at 85 °C without ever going above the rim, leave it to stand for 12 h, empty it, scrape the inside with a spoon, then let it air-dry with the opening facing up. See our step-by-step curing guide.
How do I make my first mate with this kit?
Fill the gourd two thirds full with leaves — allow 25 to 30 g per 200 ml — tilt it to one side, slide the bombilla into the hollow, then pour water at 70–80 °C, never boiling. The whole ritual, step by step, is in our guide to the traditional preparation of mate.
How do I look after the kit day to day?
Rinse the gourd with hot water, no soap, and leave it to dry with the opening facing up. For the bombilla, a rinse after every session, then a monthly clean with food-grade baking soda and a polish with a silver polishing stone. See our guides: caring for your gourd and caring for your bombilla.
Can I choose the mate that comes with the kit?
Yes. The kit includes 500 g of organic yerba mate, chosen from 5 varieties when you place your order. That way you build your kit around the profile that appeals to you — soft and green, roasted, aged and intense.
Is this kit a good place to start with mate?
Yes: it has everything you need to brew a mate the moment it arrives — gourd, bombilla and yerba. Nothing else to buy. Our guide to getting started with mate will walk you through those first sessions.
