Mate Chico
1/4

A compact Palo Santo mate handcrafted by Daniel Omar Rodríguez in Buenos Aires. With 34 years of quiet craft to his name, Daniel works with sustainably sourced Palo Santo from Argentina’s Chaco region, cutting each piece from dense, aromatic wood and finishing it entirely by hand. Its smaller volume offers an intimate, focused sip, naturally concentrating the flavor of each pour.

The base is wrapped in aluminum for durability and stamped with the maa·tay mark — a subtle detail that grounds the piece in its origin. A perfect everyday companion for solo sessions or shorter cycles.
