Bring the heart of Buenos Aires to your Australian home with our premium Yerba Mate Kit Torpedo, the ultimate choice for those who value authenticity and style.

The ritual of sharing mate is more than just a drink; it is a moment of connection, and with this handcrafted set, you can experience the true flavour of South America right here in Australia. Whether you are sipping alone during a morning routine in Sydney or sharing with friends in a Melbourne park, the Torpedo Kit ensures your yerba mate experience is nothing short of extraordinary.

Why the Torpedo Mate Kit is Australia's Favourite

Our Torpedo Yerba Mate Kit stands out for its unique 'Torpedo' shape—a design beloved by traditionalists in Uruguay and Argentina. Unlike standard gourds, the Torpedo offers a robust, ergonomic grip and a wider mouth, making it easier to arrange the yerba 'montañita' (the little mountain) for a longer-lasting flavour. This kit is designed for those who appreciate the finer details of the mate culture and want a set that lasts a lifetime.

🌿 Key Features & Benefits

  • Premium Leather Wrap – Hand-stitched leather provides excellent insulation, keeping your mate warm while protecting your hands from heat.
  • Heavy-Duty Glass or Ceramic Interior – Ensures a pure, untainted flavour without the need for the extensive 'curing' process required by organic gourds.
  • Authentic Stainless Steel Bombilla – A high-quality filtered straw that prevents blockages and is easy to clean, ensuring a smooth sip every time.
  • Reinforced Metal Rim – The polished virola (rim) adds a touch of elegance and prevents the leather from wearing down at the edges.
  • Australian Stock – No waiting for international shipping; we ship directly from our local warehouse to your door.

Perfect For

This kit is the ideal choice for yerba mate enthusiasts who have moved beyond the beginner stage and want a professional-grade set. It is also a spectacular gift for those looking to explore Latin American culture or for Argentinians living in Brisbane, Perth, or Adelaide who want a piece of home.

How to Prepare the Perfect Mate

  • Step 1: Fill the Torpedo gourd two-thirds full with your favourite Yerba Mate brand.
  • Step 2: Tilt the gourd so the yerba rests on one side and pour a little warm water into the empty space.
  • Step 3: Insert the bombilla into the moist yerba and do not move it.
  • Step 4: Add hot water (ideally 75-80°C) to the side of the bombilla and enjoy.
