when i say "real" yerba mate i mean the real thing, either brewed or straight out of a gourd, not bottled. i've heard it packs quite a punch.. i love green tea but was just curious as to whether anyone's ever dranken teh mate..

yes, I have had much of it.
Quite nice. Very social. seems to come on slower than coffee. Goes really well with peppermint.
Good for all nighters, or clubs/music events.

Mate contains three xanthines: caffeine, theobromine and theophylline, the main xanthine being caffeine. Caffeine content varies between 0.7% and 1.7% of dry weight[15] (compared with 0.4–9.0% for tea leaves, 2.5-7.6% in guarana, and up to 3.2% for ground coffee);[16] theobromine content varies from 0.3-0.9%; theophylline is present in small quantities, or can be completely absent.[17] A substance previously called "mateine" is a synonym for caffeine (like theine and guaranine).[18]
Studies of mate, though very limited, have shown preliminary evidence that the mate xanthine cocktail is different from other plants containing caffeine most significantly in its effects on muscle tissue, as opposed to those on the central nervous system, which are similar to those of other natural stimulants. The three xanthines present in mate have been shown to have a relaxing effect on smooth muscle tissue, and a stimulating effect on myocardial (heart) tissue.[19]

I've been drinking it everyday for years. I've found may favorite to be the Gaucho Fuerte blend which I brew in a coffee maker then pour it over ice with some agave nectar and vanilla hemp milk. That's the straight bomb right there. Gives me a clear natural rush of energy that synergizes really well with cannabis. That's been my mourning routine for a long time.

You could mix it with some fruit juices and drink it cold!

I brew it all the time in a French press. I've mixed it with mint/green tea and several other types of tea, it's always a good addition to the clean energy from the Mate. Brewed it with shrooms the other day too .

exactly, Thats why I prefer weaker tea blends even though mate is great it just gets me too excitable.
