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.

but how come everyone who’s into yerba mate has to be a crossfit-level obsessive snob about it

We used to drink this in the college cafeteria and yell “MATEEE!!”

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.

If you didn't feel the effect, you weren't drinking it the way it's shown in the video.

So you replaced 4 coffees w 2 coffees + 4 yerbas mate? Which taste like scalding hot IPAs btw and cannot be enjoyed unless you have extensive Inca DNA

You don't drink them for the taste, but for the 180 gakking.

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

Are you not familiar with the extensive Japanese obsession with the Pacific side of South America? It's like AZN pussy to jewish American dorks

The only real danger is the same as with coffee or tea: drinking it too hot, which increases the risk of esophageal cancer.
