What is Yerba Mate & Mateine?

You might expect a standard history lesson on the plant or a dry enumeration of facts here. We skip those. At Mucho Más Mate, it’s all about the real experience.

Right now, we’re focusing entirely on launching, so you can be sure you’ll always have your favorite mate fresh in the house. Our comprehensive guides on preparing, “curating” your gourd and the rich culture from countries like Argentina and Uruguay are in the works and coming soon.

Why mate is our daily choice

What we can tell you in advance: mate is much more than just a drink. It’s a daily ritual that really does something to you.

• 1. Mateine vs. Caffeine
  We prefer to speak of mateine. Although it is chemically closely related to the active ingredient in coffee, its effect on your body is completely different. Matein gives you a bright, long-lasting and balanced energy boost. You do experience the sharp focus, but absolutely none of the agitation or the well-known “crash” you often feel after a strong cup of coffee. It’s the perfect, natural fuel for your day.
• 2. Fair price for endless energy
  Quality doesn’t have to cost top dollar. If you compare the price to your daily coffee or an energy drink, you will see that mate is many times more economical. One good serving of yerba mate will last you the whole morning or afternoon.
• 3. Not fleeting hype, but real connection
  Whether you drink it in silence to get into deep focus, or traditionally pass the gourd around with friends; the atmosphere around mate is unparalleled. It connects, slows down and energizes at the same time.
