What is Club-Mate?

Club-Mate is a refreshing drink made from a base of Mate tea. In South America, Mate is a common hot beverage, and now we've made an iced tea from it. This gives Club-Mate not only a fresh, unique taste, but also a gentle stimulating effect on mind and body.

The taste of Club-Mate is new and perhaps difficult to compare with other soft drinks, especially since it is not overly sweet. In any case, we find it good!

Club-Mate is a delicious, refreshing beverage with a slightly spicy taste. Try it for yourself!

Club-mate

In the 90s, Club-Mate was well known in Berlin as an alternative to traditional energy drinks.

Popular cocktails are Club-Mate Vodka or Club-Mate Rum (Tschunk).

Ravers, Festival-goers, even Hackers quickly came to appreciate Club-Mate.

Mate is a stimulant drink that gets its 'kick' not only from caffeine, but also from xanthines. Xanthines increase physical and mental performance, promoting concentration, vitality and stamina.

Mate contains three xanthines: caffeine, theobromine and theophylline, with the main xanthine being caffeine. Studies about mate, although there are not many, show preliminary evidence that this combination of xanthines differs from other plants also containing caffeine, in that, while the the impact on the central nervous system is similar to other caffeines, its effect on muscles is different. In short: you stay alert, but do not feel agitated.
