Just bought a mate gourd BTW. It’s kinda modernist (comes with a lid) but still has a bombilla, but since there’s no big mate culture in my country, I suppose that’s acceptable (there’s no risk of running into traditionalists here). Hopefully it still beats drinking mate from tea bags, which is what I’ve been doing so far.
We’re getting mates with lid here now, think they really made to drink wine, but I guess everyone use them without the lid because it would be impractical to get the lid of everything you’re going to pour water. I know it would get on my nerves quickly.
I see. Thanks for the detailed explanation!
