In small amounts, caffeine can be a great energy booster while helping with mental focus. If we compare Yerba Mate with coffee, the first beverage contains less caffeine than the second one but more than tea.

If you are a coffee-maniac, after some time you probably have noticed some intolerance to drinking more than one coffee at a day. You added some milk, tried smaller cups but at the same time don’t want to resign the cool sensation of having that coffee. Well, Yerba Mate could be the solution you’ve been looking for. It has practically the same effect, really cool flavour without the consequences of having coffee regularly.
