Meet Yerba Maté

As the functional beverages market continues to grow, Yerba Maté is gaining recognition as a key botanical for next-generation functional iced tea. Find out why below.

Demand for clean energy

As health-conscious consumers look for alternatives to synthetic caffeine, the number one barrier to trying Yerba Maté isn’t interest – it’s availability.

An iconic botanical

Thanks to its long history of traditional use in South America, consumers already associate Yerba Maté with natural energy, vitality and cognitive support.

Versatile taste possibilities

From floral and honeyed to roasted and caramelised notes, Yerba Maté offers a wide range of possible taste directions. Extracts and concentrated infusions provide flexibility across still and carbonated beverage applications.
