Opis produktu
Gourd (cuia) decorated "Geometrico" 230 ml
An interestingly decorated vessel designed mainly for the finely ground Brazilian mate whose texture resembles flour or matcha. This type of erva (yerba) mate is called chimarrao. A cuia is made from a gourd, but its shape differs from the classic Argentinian calabaza, because it comes from a different part of the plant, closer to the stem - hence its distinctive hourglass-like shape. Thanks to its size, it is the ideal choice for those who want to make the most of the charm and yield of chimarrao throughout the day.
Brazilians have loved chimarrao since time immemorial, and these vessels were used even before European conquistadors arrived in South America. They remain very popular today, and many people in Brazil cannot imagine life without their vessel and their favourite finely ground mate, chimarrao.
The "Geometrico" gourd (cuia) is a fairly large (approx. 230 ml) natural vessel made from a gourd fruit, with a glued-on metal foot that keeps the cuia stable. There are also versions where the cuia consists of two parts: the vessel and a stand. This one is a single-piece version. Made by the Brazilian brand Arte Couro (Taura).
It features unconventional decoration with geometric motifs, resulting in a lovely engraving visible all around the vessel. Hence the name "geometrico", Spanish for geometric. The entire motif has been laser-burnt, and the vessel has a burnt rim, which makes everyday use (drying) easier in this area.
Before first use, we recommend pouring boiling water into it and leaving it for 1-2 h, or - the more recommended option - preparing an aromatic mixture, i.e. mate + any herbs (mint, lemongrass, etc.), which you put into the vessel, pour boiling water over and, as before, leave in the vessel for 1-2 h. After this time, empty the vessel, rinse off the remaining mate thoroughly, wipe the inside with a paper towel and leave it to dry for 1 day.
An important note on use: after each day of use, the cuia needs time to dry - ideally 24 hours to get rid of all moisture. If you forget about this, mould may appear in the vessel quite quickly and it will no longer be usable. Dry the vessel in its normal upright position, do not turn it upside down and do not shut it away in places without air circulation (e.g. in cupboards).
Only the one piece shown is available. It may have slight discolouration inside the vessel and scratches on the outside.
