Calabas - is a traditional vessel for making and drinking mate, a tonic drink of the peoples of South America.
Calabash is made from some types of South American wood in the form of a very durable barrel, which allows you not to burn your hands from the prepared mate, and slightly transforms the taste of the drink, giving it a woody touch. It is made by hand, occasionally they are covered with leather, drawing a pattern on them or trimmed with silver.
For long-term service of calabash - it is worth removing the remaining yerba after using it, as well as drying it on a drying grid or putting it on a bomb, so that air passes inside. It is much more convenient to have for each species a separate calabash for different varieties of mate.
In addition to revealing the aroma of mate, a drink in Calabash made of wood receives the aroma of the wood itself. In general, wooden calabash is not bad, in addition, the revitalization procedure in them does not need to be done.
