A Yerba Mate Beverage Generally Contains More Caffeine Than Black Tea But Less Than Coffee
Yerba Mate is sometimes compared as a beverage that has the same feel-good qualities as chocolate, the same energy boost as coffee, the same smooth flavour as regular tea, and the same therapeutic properties as herbal tea. The stimulants caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, which are also present in coffee, tea, and chocolate, are in fact present in the Yerba Mate plant.
The amount of caffeine in a beverage derived from a caffeinated plant might vary based on the type of plant, how it was processed, and how the herb was brewed. Depending on whether it's a male or female plant, certain Yerba Mate plants might even differ in the strength of the flavour, the amount of caffeine, and other nutrients.
Female plants often have a softer flavour and less caffeine. A Yerba Mate beverage typically contains more caffeine than black tea but less than coffee.
