Delicious, Refreshing and Energizing

The guys I know love a big gourd full of Guayaki yerba mate -- but I just can't get enough of their bottled mate beverages. So delicious and refreshing and also gives you really nice energy feeling! And its got a ton of antioxidants and other great things.
Guayaki doing a lot of very inspiring work in the Amazon Rainforest - please check out their site to learn a little more about reforestation efforts there.

Tried it Because of Sustain Lane--LOVE IT!!!

I've seen this stuff around but never tried it. I do love tea, but not smoky flavors. After reading all the positive reviews here I was intrigued. I bought a bag. I am sure I was positively influenced, but I found thi tea quite nice. It is smoky, but in a mild way. It does give a smooth lift too, I did not feel jittery like I can if I drink Irish teas. Yummy good stuff.

mmmmmYES!

This tea/juice was amazing! I was not sure when I first tried a little sample but it was not long until I bought three bottles. This drink made a believer out of me. Try it today! It is good for you! In fact, I am going to go and buy some more right now....

I'm cracked out!

As an employee of SustainLane, I have been walking around the Chicago Green Festival all day. I am thoroughly convinced that I would not still be on my feet and talking if it weren't for the amazing stimulant properties of Guayaki Yerba Mate. It's super yummy and they have tons of new flavors, too. Bottoms up!

Yerba Mate iced tea

I don't really like iced tea but tried this product anyway. It was very much like a juice with a slight tea flavor. Good tasting and good for you.

Que bueno...

Have been drinking mate for years, and Guayaki's brand is my favorite. I only attend industry events for my company where Guayaki is also there so I have a hook-up while on the road!

Mate in a bottle?

Although my first introduction to mate was a gorgous hot mate latte in San Luis Obispo (former home of Guayaki), I must say the new bottled mate tea drinks that have come out are SO GOOD. First Traditional, Empowermint and Raspberry Revolution followed by the elixir style "Pure" line and even an Unsweetened. They are all tasty and make me feel excited, energized and super focused. This is a company that has their people on their mind and our health in their hearts. Thanks Guayaki!

Delicious Boost

This drink is a powerful, uplifting drink that doesn't leave you jittery at all. It is far more healthy than coffee and gives you the same lift. It tastes earthy, and goes well with honey. It tastes good in the loose tea form through the straw, or in the bottle cold. I enjoy all of the flavors, but the best is the original.

terrific yerba mate product.. affordable price

I tried this yerba mate product, purchasing a 1/2pound bag and trying it at home. It was the Moca Mate flavor -- with light hints of cocoa and nuts. I enjoyed it because it still possessed the strongly herbal mate flavor, but tempered with cocoa and it was excellent with milk and a bit of sugar. Normally, this product sells for $8.00 but I was able to get two for $5. I also like the fact that it sells in loose or bag form.

Delicious and inspiring

I like yerba matte, a South American herb grown for drinking in communal drinking ceremonies. It has an invigorating effect like coffee or tea, but different. And many additional health benefits, as well. I've only recently begun drinking the drink and have learned a bit about the traditional drinking ceremony involved in it's native locale. But I have not experienced this ceremony myself. I drink it for the effects & health benefits, and also because Guyaki has a socially & environmentally responsible mission to support it's business practices. I had the good fortune to talk with one of the original employees of the company, and he shared a very personal and touching story about his first experience with the traditional drinking ceremony in South America. I appreciate his willingness to share his story, and I believe that the traditions surrounding this drink can be a very meaningful experience for those who choose it to be so. At this point, I can only speak to my experiences with the drink, but I enjoy its potential and the history behind it.

MateisHOTe!

My wife and I love Guayaki's Yerba Mate ground mate beverage. It provides a great pick me up in the morning, giving you more energy without all the side effects of caffeine. We also really like the taste of it, especially if you drink it with honey. Try it!

Finally a cold tea that's good!

This is best cold tea I've had in all my 24 years of life. For so long I wouldn't drink iced tea because it was too sweet and tasted terrible. Guayaki is also a caffeine beverage that picks me up but doesn't make me feel crappy simultaneously. A friend recommended their table at the Green Festival and I thank him so much for it. I'm going to the first health food store that I see to pick up a case of this stuff. Folks should forget the other cold teas and switch to Guayaki today.

Guayaki Tea

The new product Raspberry Tea has a hint of the Matte flavor and is not too sweet. Like all of their Matte teas, they taste great and leave you feeling energized. A much better alternative to coffee.
