A lot of comments here seem to be equating various tea forms of mate with Club Mate. Club Mate is a soda as in it belongs on the self somewhere next to Coke and Red Bull. It's got more caffeine than Coke but only about 1/2 the sugar. I really liked it.
Tea made from mate is the same only in the sense that orange juice is similar to orange soda. As in they are arguably not really similar.
That's not to say anything negative about mate based teas. I drink those too. Just that, if you go get Yerba Mate or any other mate tea you're not drinking anything remotely similar to Club Mate.
- GFischer 13y agoI equated it mostly because I was commenting about its effects - if Club Mate has a similar effect than regular Mate "tea", it's a better alternative to coffee, and at least one comment here makes it seem so (cessor: "With mate the caffeine rush is much better"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7725211 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7725211 I'll have to taste Club Mate and see what it tastes like (I might like it more than regular Mate! I find it too bitter)
