Only 3 organic ingredients: Yerba Mate, Stevia and Lemon Juice.

(Oh, and there's a fourth secret ingredient: Mucho Love)

Yerba mate a.k.a Ilex Paraguariensis, is a tree native to Latin America that can reach a height of 12 to 16 meters.

Its origin dates back to the Guarani tribes, who used the leaves of the tree as a beverage, an object of worship and currency. During long journeys through the jungle, the Spanish conquistadors noticed that the Guarani people had greater resistance after drinking this sacred beverage.

Later, the Jesuits contributed to its diffusion and commercialization, to the point that the infusion became known as The Jesuit tea.

Stevia has been used over centuries by the Guaranis to sweeten their yerba mate infusions, as medicine, and also as a “sweet treat”.

Stevia has a magic superpower: it gives a sweet taste while containing 0 sugar and 0 calories. Therefore,  it’s  a perfect plant for all those who must do without sugar: diabetics, people prone to hypoglycemia, or those who just want to reduce their sugar intake.

Yeah  we know… stevia has a bad reputation. It’s because the common term for stevia refers to “steviol glycosides”, which are basically compounds from the plant, artificially extracted with chemical processes.

Pepe Mate’s stevia blend is just made of plain, ground organic leaves. It’s not extracted with any chemicals.

That's sweet right? 

Yerba Mate is naturally rich in caffeine. Just like cocoa or guarana, its also contains theobromine, an alkaloid that increases the absorption time of caffeine in the body. 

Drinking Pepe Mate will give you a smooth, long-lasting energy and focus boost!

Each can contains approximately 40mg of caffeine.

You'll feel the energy & focus boost 20-30 mins after drinking Pepe Mate.

Yup! We use the same machinery as in beer making. Therefore, Pepe Mate is fizzy and has a nice little foam.

We chose carbonation because we want you to feel the energy going inside of you at each sip.
