Move over caffeinated energy gels; yerba maté has arrived. An article from The New York Times announces this South American tea is “the latest buzz among endurance athletes,” including cyclists and distance runners. It goes on to explain that aside from caffeine, maté contains “theobromine, the stimulant in dark chocolate, and theophylline, tea’s pick-me-up.” Because of this combination of natural stimulants, “maté drinkers don’t experience the rapid upward trajectory and then the quick crash of coffee.”
Whether an athlete or not, the energy boosting power of yerba maté is worth a try. Check out Teaquilibrium’s Energizing Sport Tea in 3 flavors: Endura, Zest, and Burst.
