About Yerba Mate

What makes mate different from coffee?

Coffee gives you a sharp peak and a crash. Mate delivers a longer, smoother energy curve thanks to caffeine plus theobromine — same alertness, no jitters, no afternoon slump. Coffee is one cup and done; mate is sipped slowly across a 30 to 60 minute session, refilled 10 to 15 times from the same yerba.

Can you drink it cold?

Yes. The cold version is called tereré. Same prep, just cold water instead of hot. Popular in summer.

Is it safe to drink daily?

Yes. Millions in South America drink it every day. Avoid drinking it boiling hot, and consult your doctor if you're pregnant or on medication.

How many refills per serving?

A serving lasts 10 to 15 refills. When the flavor fades and the water tastes plain, time to refresh the yerba. One mate session usually lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
