Care instructions:

After use, simply rinse the bombilla with clear water and let it dry. This matetrin tube is made of high quality stainless steel and will keep its shine for a lifetime. If you have forgotten them in the mate for days, it is possible that slight deposits have formed. In this case, first rinse and then put in a saucepan, add a tablespoon of soda or baking soda and water, boil for 5 minutes, done. Now she should shine again like on the first day.

What is a bomba?

A bomba is a mate drinking tube with a round strainer at the bottom. The mate leaves/tea leaves do not go into this sieve, but into the drinking vessel. Now pour water in and insert the bomba with the sieve downwards. The water should not be too hot, a maximum of 70 degrees, so as not to burn your mouth on the hot metal.

In the case of tea blends with very fine particles, it can happen that these particles pass through or block the fine holes. If it is clogged, simply flush with water. To prevent particles from getting through the holes or clogging the mate filter, there are various preparation techniques that we will be providing information about in our blog.
