WHAT IS YERBA MATÉ?

Yerba maté is a naturally caffeinated plant native to South America, used for centuries as a source of uplifted, sustained positive energy. It contains natural caffeine and antioxidants that work together for a smooth experience without the come down.

HOW MUCH CAFFEINE DOES IT HAVE?

Each stick pack contains 200mg of natural maté caffeine. Because it's paired with theobromine, the energy release is smoother and more sustained than coffee.

HOW IS YERBA Nº 1 DIFFERENT FROM A CANNED MATÉ DRINK?

Most canned maté drinks are loaded with added sugar, and the actual yerba maté content gets watered down. Yerba Nº 1 prioritizes the organic, unsmoked yerba maté as our first ingredient, with only 2g of sugar, and no artificial anything. And it's a stick pack, so you control the strength.

WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?

A rich and grounded organic maté experience with a bright and balanced sweetness and our organic flavors (Mint, Mango, Lemonade). It's its own thing, and most people are surprised by how much they like it.

HOW SWEET IS IT?

It's designed to flex with your taste. At 16oz, expect a sweetness level similar to a classic canned maté. Add 24oz of water for a smoother, more balanced maté-forward experience. Each stick has just 2g of sugar because the sweetness comes from Katemfe Fruit.

WHAT IS KATEMFE FRUIT (THAUMATIN)?

Katemfe is a rare West African fruit, also known as the "prayer plant," that produces a healthy, calorie-free protein with a sugar-like finish. It has been approved and used for decades in Europe, Japan, and the U.S., providing a smooth sweetness without the metallic aftertaste of other natural alternatives such as stevia.

CAN I DRINK IT HOT OR COLD?

Both. Cold water works great for a refreshing iced drink. Hot water (not boiling) makes a soothing warm cup.

HOW DO I PREPARE IT?

Tear the stick, pour into 16-20 oz of water, stir or shake for 10-15 seconds.

CAN I SPLIT IT IN HALF OR WATER IT DOWN TO ADJUST THE CAFFEINE?

Yes, caffeine sensitive people (or those looking for a less sweet experience) often split a stick in half or add more water.

IS YERBA Nº 1 MADE WITH ORGANIC INGREDIENTS?

Yes, we use certified organic unsmoked yerba maté, certified organic cane sugar, certified organic inulin and certified organic natural flavors.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “ORGANIC NATURAL FLAVORS” AND “NATURAL FLAVORS”?

Standard natural flavors can contain up to 100 hidden ingredients, including synthetic solvents and GMO carriers, which don't have to be disclosed on the label. We use only certified organic natural flavors to ensure our flavors are extracted purely and simply, without petroleum-based chemicals, prioritizing your health over a cheaper bottom line.
