Based on Yerba Mate Lab's own product information, its range is described as suited for beginners to prepare. Check individual product details to confirm fit before buying.

Yes. Some savings are built into the store without needing a coupon. Current starter kits are priced below the combined regular price of their contents, while yerbas such as La Palma and Canarias have automatic multi-bag discounts when you buy two or more.

There is a discount-code box in the shopping cart before checkout. Add the products you want first, enter the code there and check that the total changes before paying, especially if the basket already contains a kit, sale item or quantity discount.

You only need three things: loose yerba mate, a mate gourd and a bombilla. Yerba Mate Lab sells these separately as well as in complete kits, with the Beginner's Kit using a stainless steel gourd that can be used immediately without curing.

Yerba Mate Lab recommends Cruz De Malta as a good starting point because its coarser Argentine cut is easier to prepare and generally less likely to clog a bombilla than very fine yerbas. Canarias and La Palma have finer cuts and suit people who want to move towards Uruguayan-style preparation.

No. A gourd and bombilla are the traditional setup, but the yerba itself can also be brewed with equipment such as a French press, teapot, strainer or coffee maker. The traditional method is different from ordinary tea because the same leaves stay in the gourd and are refilled with water several times.

Yes, the brand recommends curing natural calabash gourds before regular use. Its current instructions say to fill the gourd with hot water at about 170°F / 77°C, leave it for around 20 minutes, pat it dry and then let it dry on its side somewhere well ventilated.

Empty it as soon as you finish drinking, rinse it with warm water and dry it thoroughly. Yerba Mate Lab advises against soap or other cleaning products on natural calabash because the material can absorb them and affect the flavour of future drinks.

Preparation makes a big difference. Yerba Mate Lab recommends letting the first pour soak for several minutes and positioning the bombilla filter beneath the yerba "mountain" rather than repeatedly moving the straw around. For very fine cuts, a larger spoon filter, a mil furos bomba or an additional filter bag can help.

Rinse it thoroughly with warm water after each use. For stainless steel bombillas, Yerba Mate Lab also recommends a deeper clean every month or two by boiling the straw in water with baking soda for around 10 minutes, which helps remove residue that builds up inside.

The store has a 30-day return period, but its current policy limits refunds, returns and exchanges to products that arrive defective or damaged, or when the wrong product was sent. Used products are not eligible, so inspect a gourd or accessory before using it and contact Yerba Mate Lab first if there is a problem.
