This hollowed out gourd, called a Cuia, is the traditional vessel used for the preparation and drinking of Mate teas. Mate tea is very popular in South America, where the Cuia is often used to drink Mates in a group setting. The tea and hot water are added to the Cuia. Then the first person drinks from the Bombilla (Mate straw, sold separately) until the tea is gone. The Cuia is refilled with hot water and given to the next person. This ceremony unites all who participate in a special way. Why not enjoy Mate the traditional way with your family and friends?
