The Alpaca Metal Pico de Loro is a specialized drinking straw designed for consuming yerba mate, a traditional South American caffeinated beverage. The straw is made of high-quality metal, typically stainless steel, which makes it durable and easy to clean.

The term "Pico de Loro" means "parrot's beak" in Spanish, and refers to the unique shape of the straw's filter. The filter at the end of the straw is designed to prevent the leaves and other solid particles of yerba mate from being sucked up into the user's mouth. Instead, the filter allows only the liquid to flow through, ensuring a smooth and flavorful drinking experience.

The Alpaca Metal Pico de Loro for mate straw is also adorned with decorative patterns and designs, making it a stylish accessory for yerba mate enthusiasts. Additionally, because it is reusable and eco-friendly, it is an environmentally conscious choice for those who want to reduce their waste and carbon footprint.
