Yerba Mate is what coffee wishes it was (found it post coffee crash)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 5th, 2025 6:07 AM Author: Rusted azn orchestra pit I've been addicted to coffee for the last 20+ years — drinking 3 to 4 strong Italian macchiatos a day.
I'd sometimes drink it on an empty stomach to avoid stuffing my face and getting fat. Often I ended up wrecking my stomach lining and getting ulcers. After the last episode, I had to quit for a month and went searching for a decent substitute. Matcha? Weak. Black tea? Lol. Then I found Yerba Mate.
Bros, this is the real shit. Total game-changer. You need to both prepare it and drink it the proper way (YouTube vid below) or it won't work. I'm down to 1–2 coffees a day (for the taste) and 2–4 mates (for the clean high and energy boost). Best discovery I've made in years. Argentinians were right all along. I wish I'd found this shit 20 years ago.

It gives you a little buzz that differs from caffeine, but it is certainly not a replacement for caffeine, less of a pick me up.
I think there’s concerns about cancer too, or maybe that’s just from the really hot temp people drink it at.
I’ll drink it every once in a while if I want to cut back on coffee. |

Lol at needing Inca DNA to enjoy it. I was checking out Amazon reviews of some of these products, they order it even to Japan. Lmao |

Date: May 28th, 2025 5:30 AM Author: Rusted azn orchestra pit It's really not that hard. I started with a regular cup while waiting for my gourd from Amazon. Totally doable. The bombilla is a must though—I tried drinking without it and had to filter the leaves with my teeth out of desperation for the caffeine. It worked, but the bombilla is 100x better. This video breaks it down nicely. It's honestly that simple: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9OuQfmamdLc
I bought RosaMonte (super strong) and Playadito (mild) and mixed them, but that's just my thing.
I've got a sweet tooth, so I wasn't crazy about the taste. I brewed water with a tea I like and added a bit of stevia, then used that to steep the yerba mate. You don't need to do that, it's something I found tasty. You might actually like the plain flavor. But honestly, what matters is the effect.
If you're doing this at work, just bring a big thermos. I wouldn't care what people think, some might even be curious and ask about it. |

Date: May 29th, 2025 4:17 AM Author: ""'"""' Buy it at a store that caters to immigrants (like in Hispanic neighborhoods) instead of on Amazon. It'll cost you half as much. You only need to buy the gourd and mate straw once, those will last forever.
