Traditional Argentine Mate Gourd with Straw BOMBILLA Drink Easy 3357

The gourd I received was so small and unusable that it's almost comical, but the bombilla that was included is exactly what I wanted. I won't knock off too many stars for the size of the gourd, as it doesn't appear they were falsely misleading about it really, and for the price I'm still pretty content.

Straw does not filter fine mate, and the gourd had lots of its innards still intact, but still looks super cool and can work fine.

During the curing process the gourd molded. The straw thing still works With a regular old coffee cup... Wow the tea is strong...

I was looking for something a lot bigger! You also have to soak the gourd for 48 hours and then scrape the inside of it with a spoon. I did that and I still ended up having little floaters of the stuff that was supposed to be scraped off. Not impressed at all and it's not worth the money!!

This product came unfinished, rim was not black finish as pictured and there was dry chunks inside falling out. The overall outside color was very ugly damaged looking, dark spots on it. Just not a good product at all.
