shops The Way of Rio Grande do Sul
While living in Porto Alegre, Brazil, during the spring of 2020, the Sabado Cup Original was by my side every day. Once you start drinking from a cuia, it's not easy to stop. Butter-smooth and leathery to the touch with gorgeously complex natural patterning, these locally grown cuias are hand-harvest and hand-crafted with natural rubber and chrome accents for a touch of modernity.
A true representation of Rio Grande do Sul, where no where else in the world erva mate and chimmarão is celebrated with such passion and pride. In Southern Brazil Erva is more than a plant, it's a lifestyle of family, community, and respect for the land.
