Coffee hits fast and drops you just as hard. The caffeine in mate comes bound with theobromine, so the lift builds gently, holds through the morning, and fades without the mid-day crash.

You get the alert edge you want from coffee, without the shaky hands or the racing heart. Calm and clear instead of buzzy.

Mate is far less acidic than coffee, so it sits fine first thing in the morning before you have eaten.

Mate is naturally rich in polyphenols, the same antioxidants green tea is known for, and it carries even more of them.
