The Discovery Pack is the perfect discovery kit to start in the world of mate without too much impact on your wallet. We know it's a crisis, but you still deserve to get into mate!
Quality remains a golden rule at La Bombilla and this pack contains all the essentials to discover mate: A bag of Original Organic mate 500G, a classic bombilla, and a black double-walled insulated stainless steel gourd.
Our mate has a unique and balanced taste, halfway between green tea and coffee.
The contact between smoke and maté during the drying stage is controversial for obvious health reasons.
Step 1: Heat water to 80°C
Step 2: Fill your calabash two-thirds full with mate leaves and form a well with your yerba
Step 3: Place the bombilla while covering its end and then pour the hot water.
▶ Health
The vast majority of the market's mate is dried over a wood fire. However, this method is known to produce PAHs, toxic substances suspected of being carcinogenic in high doses.
▶ Taste
Wood-fired smoked mates have a much stronger, raw taste. Drying without smoke allows for a much more balanced flavor.
As a precaution, it is not recommended for children, people with hypertension, and pregnant women (or those who are breastfeeding) to consume mate.
Our mate comes from Brazil, in the Paraná region. Before finding it, we traveled through Brazil and Argentina, the two largest producers of mate in the world, where we covered nearly 5000 km and met about ten producers. Why? To find an exceptional mate with a unique taste!
