Sabado Cup Copita Brazilian Erva Mate Cuia

Sabado Cup Copita - Brazilan Cuia Mate Gourd

While living in Porto Alegre, Brazil, during the spring of 2020, the Sabado Cup Original was by my side every day. Once you start drinking from a cuia, it’s not easy to stop. Butter-smooth and leathery to the touch with gorgeously complex natural patterning, these locally grown cuias are hand-harvest and hand-crafted with natural rubber and chrome accents for a touch of modernity.

Sabado Cup Copita - Brazilan Cuia Mate Gourd

A true representation of Rio Grande do Sul, where no where else in the world erva mate and chimmarão is celebrated with such passion and pride. In Southern Brazil erva is more than a plant, it’s a lifestyle of family, community, and respect for the land.

Allow the Natural Curing Process

Allow brazilian mate cuia to naturally cure
No need to cure your cuia with any particular method. The vessel will naturally cure on its own, within three months, depending on your climate (faster in drier weather). Some mold and mildew is perfectly normal, as the excess plant material inside the vessel breaks down with use. After several weeks, you’ll notice a uniform dark hue and the cuia will begin to dry rapidly after each use. Most mate drinkers continue to use the cuia throughout the entire process, but you may also alternate between vessels during this process. If you are totally against mold and oxidation, then we recommend you select a metal or wooden vessel.
