There’s something timeless about tradition—especially when it travels well.
On a sunny day in San Francisco, surrounded by the classical beauty of the Palace of Fine Arts, we brought our favorite ritual on the road: enjoying yerba mate with a proper yerba mate set.
If you’re new to the world of yerba mate, here’s the secret: the experience isn’t just about the loose leaf tea—it’s about how you prepare and enjoy it. That’s where the yerba mate set comes in.
What’s in a Yerba Mate Set?
A traditional yerba mate set typically includes:
-
Loose leaf yerba mate
- Rich in antioxidants, naturally energizing
-
A mate cup
- usually made of stainless steel, ceramic, wood, or gourd
-
A bombilla straw
- A metal straw with a built-in filter that lets you sip without the leaves
At Green Dot Yerba Mate, our sets are crafted for both authenticity and modern convenience. Durable, sleek, and perfect for travel—just like this one enjoyed at one of San Francisco’s most iconic landmarks.
Why Bring a Yerba Mate Set on the Go?
Whether you’re sightseeing, hiking, or just relaxing in the park, a yerba mate set makes it easy to take your wellness routine with you. It’s a personal ritual that energizes your day and connects you to a global tradition with deep roots in South America.
Plus, let’s be honest—it looks cool. There’s something magnetic about the matte black mate cup and bombilla catching sunlight under grand architectural arches.
Choosing the Right Yerba Mate Set
If you’re looking for your first yerba mate set—or upgrading to one that’s built to last—consider:
-
Material
- Stainless steel for durability and temperature control
-
Design
- Sleek and modern vs. traditional and rustic

Ease of use
- Dishwasher-safe? Spill-proof lid? Travel-friendly?
