The Bombilla Yerba Mate Straw by Industria Alpaca Argentina is a unique collectible item that brings a touch of Latin American culture into your home. Made in Argentina, this yerba mate straw is a symbol of traditional Latin American culture. This is used to drink mate tea from a gourd, allowing the liquid to pass through while straining out the loose leaves and stems. Made of silver with much tarnish. The pictures make it seem more yellow than it actually is.
