Mate Tea Gourd
Mate Tea Gourd
yerba mate tea gourd question?
I've just started drinking yerba mate, and i LOVE it. i was thinking about getting a gourd for it, but i had a question...... it seems like the gourds use a lot of the plant material, and there's not much drink- for one person, is a gourd a waste of yerba? and how many times can you refill the gourd, and can you leave it for another day (the same leaves)?
best answer will be given, thanks
thanks for the response, but.... most importantly, could i refill the gourd a few times and then leave it for the next morning? i don't want to use tons of leaves for one "session", can i use the leaves already in the gourd and already used a few times)the next day?
The ideal way to enjoy Yerba Mate is with a set of Mate (Gourd) and Bombilla (bamboo or stainless steel straw). Mate Gourds have a long history in South America. They are the traditional vessel used for drinking Yerba Mate and are made from either a Gourd or elaborately carved wood.
Typically you can refill the gourd eight to ten times or more depending on the yerba used or until the mate becomes "washed out" or "flat". Well-aged yerba mate is typically more potent, and therefore provides a greater number of refills.
Before first use, it is a good idea to 'season' the gourd. To do this, brew 6-7 ounces of Yerba Mate at double strength. Pour into the Gourd and keep overnight.
**************
My suggestion is, once the leaves are moist, it is not a good idea to leave them overnight.
