Thick-walled container with a capacity of approximately 120-160 ml, made of fragrant Palo Santo wood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) and covered with aluminum. This tree was revered by the indigenous people of Paraguay as an herb that cured many diseases and had great power. Yerba mate drunk from such a container gains a completely new taste thanks to the aromatic resin.
At the top of the container are special holes into which the water stream should be directed. These channels allow the water to flow down the inner walls of the container and reach its bottom. There is no need to make a mound or set it at the correct angle. Pour water directly into the special groove. The water passes through the holes carved in the wood, acquiring a resinous aroma on the way.
Due to changes in humidity, small cracks may occasionally appear in the wood, but thanks to the metal casing, this will not be a problem.
Each piece is unique because it is handmade. They may differ slightly from each other, have slight grooves, scratches, or feel slightly uneven under the fingers. Such is the charm of craftsmanship!
