While it turned out to be slightly smaller than I expected, the product was delivered in just two days, is of good quality, and is overall what I wanted, together with a great service.

This review is from: ARGENTINA MATE GOURD YERBA TEA WITH STRAW BOMBILLA 0035

I went to Argentina (the origin of maté) over the summer for a study abroad program, and then decided to purchase this as a Christmas gift for her since she enjoys being a multicultural person. It's exactly what she was looking for.

The container itself is much larger than I expected though, but that just means you shouldn't fill it up very much and judge the amount of water you need appropriately. Pretty boring design gives this a 4 inside of a 5.
