Beautiful and high quality mate cup made of pumpkin, with leather and a metal ring.
The color of the leather can vary from reddish brown to dark brown (see pictures).
While using the mate-cup a discolouration of the pumkin takes place. This is a natural process which occurs through the absorption of the tea.
Before the first use of the cup it should be "cured" in order to ensure a longer life.
Please make sure not to pour water up to the top edge when filling the Calabaza, as the metal ring is only placed on and not waterproof. Otherwise, this could lead to damage to the cup.
