Calabaza Tigre

The Calabaza Tigre is a classic, natural mate gourd from Argentina. It holds around 250–350 ml, is decorated by hand with ethnic patterns, and has a metal spiral that gives it a distinct look. It is also one of the most popular shapes among mate drinkers.

Good to know

• Every gourd is a little different, so yours may vary slightly from the picture
• The colour is applied with a thermal method; at the start the colour may bleed a little, so wipe the outside with a damp cloth and do not rest it on a tablecloth
• A natural gourd must be cured before first use (“curado”) — see our guide to preparing mate

Why choose a natural gourd? The taste, the feel in your hand and the tradition. If you prefer no care at all, look at our ceramic or stainless-steel cups.
