This traditional way of serving mate features a large amount of Mate leaves in a small gourd. The gourd is skillfully filled with low-temperature water, allowing the water to flow down the side of the bombilla and creating a tunnel so that the top leaves remain dry, and are slowly wet over the course of many infusions. Traditionally, this type of mate ritual is shared in a circle with friends, one sipping the tea, and then filling the gourd with water before passing affectionately to the next friend.
