A Lesson in Brewing: Yerba Mate with JoGo
Brewing Yerba Mate with a JoGo Straw is more than a process; it's an experience. As the hot water interacts with the Yerba Mate, an alchemical dance occurs, yielding a cup that is as refreshing as it is comforting. Here's a simple guide to start your Yerba Mate brewing adventure with JoGo:
Step-by-Step Yerba Mate Brew with JoGo Bombilla Straw
- Prepare your Yerba Mate: Choose your favorite loose-leaf Yerba Mate and fill your gourd or cup to about two-thirds capacity.
- Add Heat: Heat your water to the recommended temperature, ideally below boiling, and bring out the JoGo Straw.
- Insert and Brew: Instead a traditional bombilla or your JoGo Straw into the Yerba Mate, pour in the hot water until it reaches the top of the Yerba, and allow it to brew for a moment, depending on your taste for strength. We suggest pouring it only to one side at first, before switching it to the other – this will extend the life of your Yerba.
- Sip Mindfully: The moment has arrived. Lift the JoGo Straw, position it comfortably against your lips, and take a mindful sip, allowing each note to unfold. Feel free to pinch the silicone tip closed with your teeth for flow control.
Tips for the Perfect Yerba Mate Brew
- The water temperature directly affects the flavors and benefits extracted. Experiment with temperatures between 150°F-170°F for the best results.
- Pre-curing your Yerba Mate—a process of moistening the leaves with cool water—can enrich the flavor and ease of brewing.
- Rotate the JoGo Straw slightly between sips to ensure you get the full flavor, not just the infusion from a single side.
