Our Bombilla for Mate is a necessary accessory for all lovers of Brazilian Mate: this kind of steel “straw”, used exclusively for drinking mate, adapts to the shape of the container and filters the herb (in leaves or minced) with each sip, allowing a smooth passage of the liquid in the tube of 15-20 centimeters to the mouth. The bombilla consists of three parts:
- the tip, which is in contact with the lips and has an inclined shape
- the neck, the tube through which the liquid passes, can have different shapes
- the filter, at the base, prevents the passage of the yerba mate leaves
How to clean
In addition to washing it after each use, it is advisable to wash it thoroughly once a month, immersing it in boiling water for 30 minutes (perhaps adding baking soda). Afterwards, it should be cleaned inside with a thin brush to remove the yerba mate residues.
