EARLY TESTER FEEDBACK
Honest words from three people who tried Sherba in their everyday routines.
“The quality of Sherba Mate is unmatched in Lebanon. Smooth and clean flavor, consistent energy all day. I am addicted to this product and can’t wait for it to be all over the Lebanese market because it will be a staple item in my kitchen for life.”
“Sherba Mate has been a beautiful discovery. The taste feels grounding, rich and real. I love it as an alternative to coffee because it gives a gentle, steady energy without heaviness. As a farmer, knowing where it comes from and who it supports makes it even more special.”
“I decided to replace coffee with maté, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The energy feels softer and more stable. When I discovered Sherba Maté, I really loved it smooth, balanced, clean, and clearly higher quality than the supermarket brands I had tried.”

The mate cup, bombilla, and thermos are all made from food-grade 304 stainless steel.
Yes. The thermos is made from food-grade 304 stainless steel and is designed for hot water at mate temperature (70–80°C / 158–176°F). The double-wall insulation keeps your water hot for refill after refill.
The Sherba thermos keeps water hot for 8–12 hours depending on ambient temperature. That means you can fill it in the morning and still enjoy a properly heated mate session well into the afternoon without needing to reheat.
Stainless steel is non-porous, so it does not hold on to flavors and smells the way some plastic or coated cups can. What you taste is your yerba.
Yes. The smooth stainless steel is easy to rinse, and the kit includes a cleaning brush sized for the bombilla. A quick rinse after each session, plus a brush through the bombilla, keeps everything fresh.
Yes. While it's designed with mate in mind, the Sherba thermos also works for tea, coffee, or any hot drink.
We offer a 7-day return window from when you receive your order. If it's unopened, unused, and in its original packaging, email contact@sherbamate.com within 7 days and we'll help you sort out a return.
FOUR SIMPLE STEPS
Four steps with a mate cup and bombilla, then adjust the strength and temperature to your taste. Want to set up in one order? See the Starter Kit.
Step 1
Fill your mate cup, also called a gourd, about two thirds full with Sherba. Leave enough room for the leaves to expand and for easy refills.
Step 2
Cover the top, shake gently, then tilt the cup to create a slope and an open space on one side.
Step 3
Add a small splash of cool water to the lower side. Wait briefly, then insert the bombilla and keep it still.
Step 4
Pour water at 70 to 80°C into the same lower side. Sip through the bombilla and refill while the flavor lasts.
