Curing a gourd is quite an involved process... but if you follow the instructions you will end up with a cured gourd that you can use for a long time. These gourds are quite fragile though & should be protected from bumps & falls.The key in gourd curing is drying the gourd in the sun.After 1 curing of 24 hours & one drying session of 24 hours with 6 of that in direct sunlight, I used my gourd for the first time. What a treat!Besides the doughy & oaty aroma of my yerba, I was hit by the smoky scent of the calabash gourd. This added to my second cycle where the taste of melons & nuts came through with a touch of bitterness made this a divine experience. I now knew why the top cebadors used small gourds in their competitions. The flavors are more intense & less watered down. You get more cycles of consistent flavor. And even if your yerba becomes lavado aka washed out you still can enjoy the aromas & flavors a newish, no longer bitter gourd will impart.Caveats: spoon yerba into the gourd and scoop it out. If you don't it will get caught under the ring. This is something they should add to the manual. Also never fill it all the way to the top. There should be 1/2 or a 1/4 centimeter of space between the ring & water. Otherwise it will leak. This is just how these kinds of gourds are. You'll need a gourd of a different shape.Anyway, I like this new gourd so much, I'm taking it on my trip to the lands that drink yerba mate wrapped in bubble wrap.

    My grandson bought this yerba because he said it looked cool. Lol. I took it out of the box, read the instructions on it, how it was made, and how to clean it. This thing is really neat. It's made from a natural grown product. It looks like leather on the inside, but the booklet says no. It's all natural. The booklet tells in detail how it was made and how long it took. Me & my grandson love this thing. I don't think he will ever use it though. He has it sitting on a shelf in his bedroom, still in the box. When his friends come over he has to show it off, but he don't let anyone touch it. He's pretty good at taking care of his things. He does know what to do with it, and how to use it, but like I said, I don't think he will ever use it.. I give it 5 stars because it's made from natural grown vegetable. Very unique in craftsmanship.

    When my cuias arrived there was already mold growing all inside the gourd and there was a lot of large flaking of the skin inside. I was bummed but I thought the curing process might kill the mold and that I could gently scrape the large pieces of skin after it had soaked in yerba. Well, when I started to wash it in warm water the dye used on the outside of the gourd bled all over my hands, sink, and countertop. My countertop is now stained purple. At this point I'm annoyed, but am determined to save this poor, abused cuias. So I fill the cuias with yerba as described in the instructions, and start to fill the mate with hot water. After doing this, I try to move it down the countertop, out of the way of things, and I knocked the silver ring at the rim off by just barely touching it! The craftsmanship is simply awful, shoddy, and really embarrassing. The bombilla is nice, tho I would warn you, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT unless you want to pay $30+ for a bombilla and a failed cuias.

    Cost:
    Having learned the Yerba Mate culture in Argentina and Uruguay, this set of two Mate Gourds (mates in spanish) and two disassembleable "sipping filtering straws" (bombillas), and a straw cleaning brush, strikes me as reasonable affordable for the USA market.

    Quality:
    The drinking gourds are of a little above average handmade craftsmanship, and acceptable materials
    The drinking straws are of slightly below average fabrication, but acceptable materials. Not a bad design though...
    The straw cleaning brush is acceptable, although it had sharp edges at the cut end of the twisted wire.

    Customer experience:
    The booklet detailing how to properly cure the drinking gourds is definitely above average, both in the quality of the information, and the accessibility for the uninitiated.
    The items were well packaged.

    Hello,

    I really wanted to like this product, as it seems similar to what acquaintances were using when I was drinking Mate for the first time in Argentina.

    I received it, followed the instructions (soak overnight & strip out the extra gourd flesh x 2) , and despite taking extreme care to not over-strip the flesh, the gourd still leaks.

    It's not a fast leak - but it will make anything under it wet over the course of hours.
    So it's basically un-usable, and is not the device that will get me to enjoy Mate.

    I do like the item, the thought behind it, and the overall package - I just wish it didn't leak.

    I may just have had bad luck - these are natural containers, and may not all be waterproof.

    I used to have neughbors that were from Argentina back in the 80s.. I have very good memories of the good friends I made, the good food, and bbqs. I always appreciated being invited to share time with the good company. They shared yerba mate with me on several occasions a I had my own guard and bombilla, and mate. Fast forward 30+ years later and I came across this guard. It was easy to cure, brings back good memories and is such a pleasure to have mate again for breakfast
    It really is such a good flavor, and I appreciate the morning alertness when I wake up. This is a great guard if you want the right tools to enjoy a good mate.. I am pleased with this purchase.. it's exactly what I needed, missed, and hoped it would be.
