Mateo
Your new best maté, made in Melbourne.
In the same way Aussies walk around clutching takeaway coffee cups, South Americans carry gourds filled with yerba maté, sipping this herbal tea reverentially through a metal straw. Maté is culturally iconic and epically good for you.It has as much caffeine as espresso, but thanks to naturally occuring theophylline and theobromine, the wave of energy, clarity and focus that rolls through your body and mind lasts a long time…and doesn’t crash. Matéo brings all the magic of maté – bright, punchy, aromatic, intriguing – and serves it ice cold, with fizz and botanicals. Dios mío!
✓ ETHICALLY ADDICTIVE - Is that a thing? It is now. Matéo, like all caffeinated drinks, is addictive. But when paired with mental clarity, physical vigour and outrageous antioxidant status, it’s for the greater good.
✓ HEALTH APPEAL - With zero sugar, no artificial flavours and under 10 calories, this is a drink that’ll have wellness shoppers clinking their glasses in appreciation.
✓ UNIQUE PRODUCT - There are plenty of energy drinks out there, but Matéo has the distinction of being a Latin American staple, sophisticated and flavoursome, with smooth and long-lasting energy that makes other caffeinated options seem rough as guts.
✓ WELLNESS CRED - Tim Ferriss, one of the world’s most famous podcasters, put yerba maté on the map, extolling its performance-enhancing virtues to millions. Maté is cherished in health and functional fitness circles as a healthier alternative to coffee – and Matéo is the only cold, carbonated version!
