Caring for Yerba Mate Gourd

Care After each use of your Yerba Mate Gourd:
1. Remove the yerba mate from the gourd.
2. Rinse your gourd with hot tap water.
3. Use a towel to dry your gourd inside and out.
4. Place the gourd upside down on a dish rack or cooling rack, to allow for air flow, and let it dry completely. You can place it in a warm sunny area to speed drying.
5. Once your mate gourd is completely dry store it right side up in a warm, dry, and well ventilated area. A sunny window is a great place to store your mate gourd.

Always inspect your gourd before each use to make sure there are no cracks or mold in it. With proper care and storage, your mate gourd can last a lifetime.
