A few weeks ago, I received a glass Yerba Mate gourd and bombilla set from a self-taught glassblower, Derek Dayan. After Derek explained to me why he chose to make this glass set, opposed to drinking out of a traditional calabash gourd and metal bombilla setup, I knew that I had to review it.
The glass set has many positives:
- Easy to wash
- Transparent view of Mate
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Smooth filtration (after 1-2 pulls)
- Stable base
The five reasons above could make anyone interested in purchasing a set. But, it’s also important to note the negatives:
- Fragile
- Hard to clean (in terms of getting Yerba out of gourd)
- Possible issues with heat (I haven’t encountered any, but with glass, it’s possible)
To purchase this Glass Yerba Mate Kit ($30 with shipping + handling) please email mateovermatter@gmail.com
