Description of Cuia KIT "Natural Green" (Cuia + Bomba stainless steel)
It is said that chimarrao (mate) is the “drink of the community”, as well as a symbol of hospitality.
A cuia is a drinking vessel made of gourd, which is used in Brazil to drink mate tea.
A cuia always comes with a bomba, which is the straw through which the drink is consumed.
This cup should be “cured” before first use to ensure a longer shelf life.
