Opis produktu

Gourd (cuia) with "Trancada" cover 200-320 ml (various patterns)

A highly unusual vessel intended mainly for Brazilian finely ground 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. Made by the Brazilian brand Arte Couro (Taura).

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.

Gourd (cuia) "Trancada" is a natural vessel made from a gourd fruit with a large capacity (between 200 and 250 ml) and a glued-on metal foot that keeps the gourd stable. Some versions of the cuia consist of two parts: the vessel and a stand. This one is a one-piece version.

What sets this gourd apart from other cuias is a special epoxy resin cover in the form of a characteristic braid, available in 9 different colour variants. In addition, the rim of the gourd has been reinforced with a resin decoration. This is the first time a vessel of this type has appeared in our wide range - definitely worth a closer look.

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).

There are 9 pieces of this gourd available - please choose the right variant from the drop-down list; each variant is available as a single piece only. It may have slight discolouration inside.
