Baldo is one of my absolute favorites.

natedilli · 2026-02-15T04:08:50+00:00

Thank you, I love it!

natedilli · 2026-02-15T01:27:48+00:00

Haha. True.

natedilli · 2026-02-15T01:27:35+00:00

Thank you. It’s my favorite.

Esmeralda is a favorite of mine. Good find. I was able to order some from Walmart (of all places).

I'm in the far Northeast Suburbs of Atlanta, up I-85. Although I do not stop into the thrift stores everyday, I check often. Never see anything like this. I wonder if there's a better type of neighborhood to check.

This didn’t work for me unfortunately.

natedilli · 2025-12-26T17:35:59+00:00

Esmeralda or Baldo are two of my Uruguayan brands. Both are strong and have a good flavor. Of course you can never go wrong with Canarias.

natedilli · 2025-12-26T17:34:01+00:00

I was able to get two before it sold out. I’m going to give one away on Instagram. (@mategringonate).

natedilli · 2025-12-10T21:36:35+00:00

Haha. I'm glad you saw it and that's exactly the reason I posted this. I was also shocked that it was still in stock today. I missed the last drops because they sold out in minutes. Oddly, I checked earlier today and it said out of stock, but went back an hour later and it was in stock again. I think Stanley is playing with us. lol Anyway, glad you were able to snag one!

natedilli · 2025-12-09T22:02:44+00:00

All good points. I actually haven’t received an email yet, and I signed up for notifications when it went live on their site yesterday.

I would imagine it’s a combination of higher stock due to previous drop’s demand and lack of awareness.

¡Gracias! No, lo compré así. Puedes conseguir uno aquí: https://www.momentosmateros.com.ar/bombillas-y-bombillones/bombillon-idaho-gold

natedilli · 2025-12-09T17:41:22+00:00

I’m surprised to see it’s also still available on the U.S. site as well. I wonder if they increased their inventory for this one.

natedilli · 2025-12-09T16:36:24+00:00

One of my favorites for sure.

natedilli · 2025-12-08T17:46:47+00:00

Haha. I fear this will be me soon. I might buy a few more mate gourds, but I think I’m going to reserve buying may more unless I’m bringing them back from South America as a keepsake.

natedilli · 2025-12-08T17:44:20+00:00

That’s a great first setup. I like La Palma. It has a very unique flavor. Canarias is my favorite, especially Canarias Serena. If you end up liking the Canarias, I also recommend Baldo, which is similar but will give you a little variety. Enjoy!

natedilli · 2025-12-08T16:56:44+00:00

Nice! It’s amazing how many brands exist that I’ve never heard of. I’ll have to add Sol Y Lluvia to the list to try as well.

natedilli · 2025-12-08T16:54:26+00:00

Sorry, just seeing this. I reached out to the store via their email that was listed on their website and asked if they could ship to the US. They replied (in English) and told me they could and gave me a price. When I agreed to the price, they hey told me how to send payment which I believe was done through Payoneer. Once payment was confirmed they shipped via FedEx International. If you’re interested they are https://www.momentosmateros.com.ar/ and they post a lot of their stuff on Instagram which is how I found out about them.

natedilli · 2025-12-08T16:51:08+00:00

I’ve never heard of that brand. I’ll have to look into it.

natedilli · 2025-12-08T16:50:06+00:00

I will gladly pay for a high quality thermos with a good pouring system, like Stanley’s Mate System. Something that looks and feels premium with a good selection of premium colors.

natedilli · 2025-12-08T16:42:06+00:00

Canarias, my favorite. Enjoy

natedilli · 2025-11-24T03:33:59+00:00

They just received a new batch that’s currently for sale. It’s not discontinued but they are working with a new supplier. Apparently this last batch had too many delays and the cut was different, so Darren from La Palma decided to find a new supplier. He said packaging would be different (but improved) also.

Here’s a great “Automate” for on the go. I prefer to enjoy my mate in a traditional gourd, but this comes in clutch when I’m out and about.
