AN ANCIENT RITUAL,
REIMAGINED.
YERBA MATÉ
Yerba Maté (yer-bah mah-tay) is a traditional South American tea made from the leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant.
Native to the subtropical regions of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, it is honoured as a sacred source of energy that has been enjoyed for centuries.
But beyond energy, it’s renowned for its rich antioxidant profile and nutrient density — known to support focus, digestion, and overall vitality.
A grounding ritual that nourishes both body and mind.
Traditionally enjoyed as a loose-leaf tea, we've crafted it into an ultra-fine, instant tea powder.
The magic of Yerba Maté lies in its unique blend of two natural stimulants: caffeine and theobromine.
While caffeine wakes the mind, theobromine — a compound also found in cacao — supports more sustained, longer-lasting energy.
The result is gentle alertness, without the crash.

have a few questions?
What is Yerba Maté?
Yerba Maté (Ilex paraguariensis) is a traditional South American plant known for its powerful, natural energy-boosting properties. Its nutrient-rich leaves have been brewed for centuries as a herbal tea, cherished for delivering a unique balance of natural caffeine, antioxidants, and brain-boosting compounds.
Unlike other caffeinated beverages, Yerba Maté provides sustained energy without jitters or crashes, thanks to its natural blend of caffeine and theobromine.
When consumed, you can expect a smooth, gentle lift that enhances mental clarity, natural energy, and overall well-being.
What is Yerba Maté extract powder?
While traditional Yerba Maté leaves have been brewed in South America for centuries, Yerba Maté Extract Powder offers a modern, potent alternative.
Made by carefully extracting the beneficial compounds from the leaves, this concentrated powder retains the caffeine, antioxidants, and nutrients that make Yerba Maté treasured.
Think the same energizing benefits, in a more accessible and convenient form.
Just a small amount (1 tsp) is required per serving.
Why extract powder instead of traditional Yerba Maté leaf?
Yerba Maté Extract Powder offers a more accessible, convenient, and potent way to experience its cherished benefits.
No Brewing Required
Traditional Yerba Maté requires steeping, a gourd, and a bombilla (metal straw) - A process that takes time and preparation. Our Extract Powder disolves instantly, making it mixable in warm water, steamed milk, smoothies or even iced.
More Potent & Concentrated
Our Extract Powder is a highly concentrated form of Yerba Maté, meaning more energy, focus, and antioxidants in less volume.
Made for Modern Life
Traditional benefits in a convenient form for life on the move.
We believe in honouring tradition while embracing innovation — offering a new way to experience Yerba Maté’s clarity, focus, and vitality.
How much caffeine is in a single serving of Yerba Maté?
Each individual serving our our Yerba Mate Extract Powder (2.5 grams) contains approx 60mg of caffeine.
Why choose Yerba Maté over coffee?
Unlike coffee’s sharp rise and crash, Yerba Maté Extract Powder contains about half the caffeine. The natural blend of caffeine and theobromine delivers calm, sustained energy that’s smoother on the stomach, rich in antioxidants, and balanced to gently carry you through the day.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Yerba Maté contains natural caffeine.
Australian health guidelines recommend limiting total caffeine intake to under 200 mg per day during pregnancy.
Moderate consumption is generally considered safe, but it’s best to consult your doctor or midwife for personalised advice.
This information is a general guideline and not a substitute for professional medical consultation.
