In reply to Yerba Mate tea, posted by mist on July 30, 2002, at 3:00:00
Hi,
My husband was a Yerba Mate enthusiast for a long time. He told me to tell you the energizing properties are not caffeine, but something called "Mateine." In their website they say that mateine "has a unique pharmacology and is unfair to compare it to caffeine." Their website is www.yerba-mate.com, if you want more info.I found it to taste awful, and didn't get any help from it, but my husband drank pots of it a day. I'm skeptical. Does it help you?
Hope this helps!
cindy> Yerba Mate tea is billed as an "energizing" drink but as far as I know the only energizing ingredient in it is caffeine. Does anyone know how it differs from other kinds of tea? I had some and felt better mood-wise than I usually do with coffee or other teas, but that could have just been a coincidence.
