Description of Mate de MADERA CAMIONERO con virola acero inox - mate cup of algarrobo wood with stainless steel ring
The stainless steel ring adds a modern touch to the authentic and elegant design, making the cup not only aesthetically pleasing but also particularly durable.
While using the mate-cup a discolouration of the wood 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.
Before first use: Cure your wooden mate cup
1. Grease: Apply a thin layer of butter or neutral-flavoured edible oil to the entire inner surface, including the base.
2. Fill: Add damp, previously used yerba mate, keeping it below the rim. Do not add any extra water.
3. Rest: Leave the cup uncovered for 24 hours, with the opening facing upwards, in a dry, well-ventilated place.
4. Repeat: Replace all the yerba every day. Remove it after a total of two to three days – your cup is ready to use.
Care: Remove the yerba after every use and allow the cup to dry thoroughly with the opening facing upwards. Darker staining inside the cup caused by yerba is normal.
