Natural!

In comics there´s Crumb´s "Mr. Natural" and in jazz there´s "Nature Boy" and there immediately come to mind hundreds of other versions of man´s explanations and invocations of nature. This page is one of them; an invocation of "nature". Be that as it may there is, to explain, a lot less done to these mates by way of artifice--they are more "natural" than others. We didn´t just find these laying around a forest floor however... for even more "natural" you might want to go to our "Organic/Natural" page... or we even have an entire page devoted to natural bamboo mates (also considered "free trade"). All are to be enjoyed with yerba 'naturally.'

For the most natural experience try a bamboo bombilla.

For the most,
MOST natural experience--DRINK NAKED!!

Wide Rim Cuias

are one of the more popular styles in Northern Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Part of the reason for this might be said to be the availability of yerba--as these will mostly hold a larger quantity of tea. Also the practice there is often to drink yerba mate for a long duration. A wide rim, or mouth, allows for a broad pouring pattern--not wetting all of the yerba--which allows for a longer-lasting 'mate'. An essential item for the Brazilian chimmarrao!

They also look really nice!
