Traditional Argentinian bombilla (filter straw) made from stainless steel to have with Yerba Mate or any blend of loose-leaf tea.
 
Our bombilla's deliver a great Loose Tea or Yerba Mate experience:
Simply place your Loose Tea/Herbs/Yerba Mate (or other loose-leaf herbal tea) in the gourd (cup).
Next step is that you want to protect the Loose Herbs/Yerba Mate you have placed in the gourd to be brewed: the best way to achieve this is by adding a few table spoons of cold water to the herb.
Bring your water to the boil and allow to cool for at least a few minutes: bringing the temperature down to below 75 degrees Celsius - [once again to protect the herb from being COOKED instead of brewed]
 
Place your bombilla (straw) inside your gourd (cup) and begin the joy.
Continue to top up your cup with hot water until the Yerba Mate sinks to the bottom of the cup
