Salta Sunrise ☀️ | Salta Sunset 🌺
Different blends. Same ritual.

Inspired by the landscapes of Salta, Argentina, these blends share the same core ingredients: hibiscus, lemon peel, and rosebuds.

Salta Sunrise
• Yerba mate + botanicals
• Naturally caffeinated
• Bright, citrusy, refreshing

Salta Sunset
• Botanical blend, no yerba mate
• Caffeine-free
• Floral and lightly tangy

One for energy. One for winding down.
However you drink it, the ritual stays the same.

Meet the Ipanema Saucer Bombilla

Inspired by Brazil’s relaxed mate culture and designed with a larger saucer-style filter, this stainless steel bombilla helps manage finer cuts of yerba while creating a smoother and more consistent drinking experience. It is durable, easy to maintain, and still fits comfortably in all Yerba Crew mate gourds.

Whether you are exploring new yerba styles or simply upgrading your daily setup, this accessory was made to keep your mate flowing with ease.

Sharing mate has its own unwritten rules 🧉⁠
⁠
If you are new to yerba mate, these simple traditions help keep the yerba flowing and make the experience more enjoyable for everyone.⁠
⁠
Here are a few classic mate rules to know⁠
⁠
🧉 Drink all the water from the mate gourd before passing it back⁠
🧉 Do not move the bombilla once it is set⁠
🧉 The cebador controls the rhythm of the circle⁠
🧉 Only say “thank you” when you are completely done drinking for the session⁠
🧉 Always pass the mate back to the cebador (host)⁠
🧉 Respect the ritual and enjoy the moment⁠
⁠
These small customs are part of what makes mate a powerful way to connect.⁠

What an awesome day at the Women’s Empowerment Cup ⚽️

From a bright and early kickoff all the way through the late afternoon, the energy at the tournament was incredible!

Players competing, friends and families cheering, and a full day of community through the game.

We had a great time serving yerba mate and our Salta Sunrise cold brew, cruising around the fields with the Yerba Crewser, meeting new people, and seeing a lot of familiar faces throughout the day.
