A caffeine hit wrapped in a lot of sugar (or artificial sweeteners) solves one problem and hands you two more: a sharp spike, then the crash. There's a calmer way to get your afternoon back - and people in South America have been drinking it for centuries.
The problem with sugary energy
When your "energy" comes mostly from sugar, your body rides it up and then straight back down. That mid-afternoon slump you're trying to fix? A sugary drink often makes the next one worse. Add high caffeine with nothing to smooth it, and you get the jitters on the way up and the crash on the way down.
Why yerba mate is different
Yerba mate gives you caffeine plus theobromine - the gentle, longer-lasting stimulant found in cacao. The result is a lift that feels steady rather than spiky. And in its natural form, mate has no sugar at all.
We Mate is brewed yerba mate (whole leaf, not extract) and natural flavour, in Mint & Ginger, Citrus, Mango & Passion Fruit and Blueberry, with fruit juice in Mango, Blueberry and Citrus. No artificial sweeteners: brown sugar in Mango and Blueberry, stevia in Citrus and Mint & Ginger. Natural caffeine from yerba mate, for calm, steady focus with real ingredients.
Focus you can actually feel good about

- Natural caffeine from yerba mate - moderate, everyday, not over the top.
- Theobromine for a smoother, steadier lift.
