Opis produktu
Gourd (cuia) Tigre 250 ml
A relatively roomy vessel intended mainly for Brazilian finely ground erva mate called chimarrao. The 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 an ideal choice for anyone who wants to make full use of the charm and yield of chimarrao throughout the day.
Brazilians have loved chimarrao for ages, and these vessels were already in use before the European conquistadors arrived in South America. They are still very popular today, and many Brazilians cannot imagine life without their own gourd and their favourite finely ground mate, chimarrao.
Cuia Tigre is a fairly large natural vessel (approx. 250 ml) made from a gourd fruit, with a glued-on foot featuring characteristic notches and decorations. The foot keeps the gourd stable so it does not tip over. Some versions of the cuia consist of two parts: the vessel and a stand. This one is a one-piece version. On the outside of the gourd there are dots resembling spots, hence the name "Tigre", meaning tiger.
Made by the Brazilian company Arte Couro (Taura), which offers a wide range of accessories, mainly for chimarrao.
Before first use, we recommend pouring boiling water into the gourd and leaving it for 1-2 h or - the more recommended option - preparing an aromatic mixture: mate + any herbs (mint, lemongrass, etc.), which you put into the gourd, cover with boiling water and, as before, leave in the gourd for 1-2 h. After this time, empty the gourd, rinse out the remaining mate thoroughly, then 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, so that all the moisture is gone. If you forget about this, mould can appear in the gourd quite quickly and it will no longer be fit for use. Dry the gourd standing upright - do not turn it upside down and do not keep it in places without air circulation (e.g. in cupboards).
