In the USA we've had "Materva" for many years, which seems reasonably popular. Lately, I've seen more and more energy/"health" drinks listing Mate as an ingredient; the Guayaki brand seemingly the most common.
These drinks really have very little to do with the taste/experience of the traditional S. American mate though...
- evincarofautumn 12y agoWell, I like the Guayaki drinks, and anecdotally they do help moderate my appetite, so maybe I’ll try traditional mate now.
- BrainInAJar 12y agoYou can buy a kilo of mate for $4 from any decent latin grocery or mennonite vacuum store. Brew it, add sugar, ice. Totally not worth the $2/bottle for the Guayaki drinks.
