Tonada Mate Gourd

A poetic tribute to natural wood.

Named after the soulful, acoustic folk music of the Cuyo region, the Tonada Gourd is an ode to simple, unhurried traditions. This mate is crafted for those who appreciate the raw beauty of natural wood, accented with just the right, subtle touch of artisanal metalwork.

Carved from a solid block of Algarrobo (Carob) wood, it showcases a rich, warm grain that feels incredibly comforting in the hand. What sets the Tonada apart is its refined, minimalist aesthetic: stripped of extra medallions or heavy metal bases, it features a beautifully smooth stainless steel rim that flawlessly crowns the uninterrupted, swirling grain of the wood. It’s a rustic yet elegant piece that brings a sense of quiet poetry to your daily yerba mate ritual.

Why it’s the smart choice:

• Minimalist Artisanal Identity: Free from distractions and heavy appliqués, the Tonada focuses on the pure, natural lines of the wood, making it a sophisticated piece that stands out from the industrial crowd.

• The "Acoustic" Wood Experience: Carved from high-density Algarrobo wood, this gourd acts as a natural flavour enhancer, developing a "memory" of your favourite yerba mate with every use.

• Natural Stability: Carved with a sturdy, flat wooden base that provides the structural security needed for modern life—perfect for balancing on your office desk or a busy kitchen table without the risk of spills.

• Effortless Ritual: Designed for the modern rhythm, its polished wood interior and smooth stainless steel rim make cleaning simple and quick, ensuring your mate session remains a peaceful moment of focus, never a chore.

• Sustainability Meets Heritage: A durable, organic choice for the eco-conscious consumer looking to ditch plastic and embrace a piece that lasts a lifetime.

A Note on Artisanal Authenticity: Every Tonada Gourd is a unique masterpiece of Argentine craftsmanship.

These are not flaws, but the marks of genuine artisanal work and the true signature of the Algarrobo tree.
