In a large mate, the mate tastes better than in a small one 😁

Just kidding, it's because the small one holds less water. It doesn't affect the taste of the drink negatively, it's just that the yerba "brews" faster. Actually, a small wooden mate is the best purchase. I would like to buy a few more wooden ones, as long as they don't have any treatment on the inner surface.

Actually, I managed to find a mate made of calden by sheer luck. The others here are somehow made of oak or cedar, and they are heavily varnished inside.
