There are plenty of options of mate cups to purchase. Here is a list of the most popular ones:
A mate can come in various shapes but also in sizes with different volumes. In Argentina, where it is a tradition to share the mate gourd, people purchase smaller sizes so that they can pass around the yerba mate cup faster.
However, the capacity you will want to buy will depend on how and where you plan to use it. In general, a bigger mate tea cup (200-300 ml) holds more yerba mate inside of it so you can drink more with it for a longer period of time.
A medium mate, 130-180 ml approximately, will consume your yerba mate faster but uses less of it making it more convenient for when you don’t have much time or want to have only a few sips.
