Perfect For

This gourd is perfect for the traditionalist who values authenticity. If you appreciate the ritual of curing your own mate and want a vessel that tells a story, the Trucky Gourd is designed for you. It also makes a thoughtful gift for homesick expats or Australians looking to explore the vibrant world of Latin American tea culture.

How to Prepare & Care for Your Gourd

• Initial Curing: Fill 3/4 with used yerba mate and warm water, let sit for 24 hours, then scrape the interior walls gently. Let dry completly in a well ventilated and bright area. Repeat for 7 days or as needed.
• Daily Cleaning: Always empty the yerba after use and rinse with warm water. Never use soap on the interior calabash.
• Drying: Allow the gourd to air dry completely in a well-ventilated spot to prevent mould, especially in humid climates like Brisbane or Perth.
