If you want to know, a mate gourd, also known as a calabash gourd, is typically made from the dried shell of a calabash fruit (Lagenaria siceraria).  Although, the fruit is hollowed out and dried to create a natural cup-like vessel. It is commonly used for drinking mate, a traditional South American herbal tea.

Therefore, to enhance your tereré drinking experience, you can look for mate gourds specifically designed for tereré.

In resume, these gourds are often made with materials that help keep the drink cold for more extended periods.

Some popular options for tereré gourds include:

1. Silicone mate gourds: These gourds are made from food-grade silicone and are specifically designed for cold water drinks like tereré. They have insulating properties that help maintain the temperature of the drink.
2. Stainless steel mate gourds: These gourds are made from stainless steel and provide excellent insulation for cold beverages. They are durable, easy to clean, and can keep your tereré chilled longer.
3. Glass mate gourds: Glass gourds are a stylish option for tereré enthusiasts. They allow you to see the vibrant colors of your drink and are generally easy to clean. While they may not provide as much insulation as other materials, they can still keep your tereré cool for a reasonable amount of time.

When choosing a mate gourd for tereré, consider factors such as material, size, and design.

Additionally, it’s important to select a high-quality, handmade gourd to ensure its durability and authenticity.

Remember to also choose a suitable straw for tereré. Traditionally, a bombilla, a metal straw with a filter at the end, is used to drink mate. For tereré, a bombilla with larger filter holes may be more appropriate, as it allows for easier consumption of the cold water and yerba mixture.

Ultimately, the best mate gourd for drinking tereré is one that suits your personal preferences and provides a pleasant drinking experience.
