Finally, some yerba from the land where yerba mate was first cultivated by the Guarani Indians -- Paraguay!This kit contains 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of Pajarito yerba mate. Also included is a big, beautiful 1 piece alpaca bombilla -- over 8 inches long! The cup in the kit is a Paraguayan style guampa – a mate cup made out of a cow's horn. These cups last forever. I've been using mine for over twelve years now and it is still going strong. The cup has the Pajarito logo embossed on it. It also has a loop that you could attach a chain to. Note on the yerba. The Pajarito has a strong earthy flavor with a smoky tinge. As an added bonus I will include samples of Campesino mint/lemon and anise flavored yerba mate. Campesino is one of Paraguay's most popular brands. Here's a  commercial advertising the Campesino brand.
