Our story
It started with the 2pm crash.
"I didn't set out to start a tea company. I set out to fix my afternoons."
Coffee gave me mornings and took my afternoons as payment: jitters, crash, repeat. Yerba mate fixed that, but drinking it "properly" meant a gourd, a bombilla, a kettle, and ten minutes I didn't have. So we built the version that fits real life: the best organic mate we could find in Brazil, in a biodegradable sachet, with a bottle you can take anywhere.
One ingredient. Because when the leaf is this good, everything you'd add is a downgrade.
Single origin, single family
From one farm in Brazil. Not various origins.
Our mate comes from a family farm in southern Brazil where growing erva-mate isn't a supply chain, it's an inheritance.
- USDA Organic certified
- Fair Trade. Farmers paid fairly, full stop.
- Single origin: every pouch traceable to the farm
- Air-dried, never smoke-cured
What we believe
A leaf this good does not need help.
Most "clean energy" products are stacks: mate plus mushrooms plus nootropics plus natural flavors. We went the other way. One ingredient means you know exactly what you're drinking, exactly where it came from, and exactly why it works.
A leaf, not a lab.
Brewed, never formulated.
One farm, one family.
Single origin, traceable to the source.
Plants, not plastic.
Biodegradable sachets, reusable bottle.
Plants not plastic
The teabag industry has a plastic problem. We don't.
Most pyramid teabags are made from nylon or PET, plastic you steep in hot water and send to landfill. Ours are made from Neo-Soilon, a plant-based mesh that biodegrades.
Plant-based, biodegradable pyramid sachets
1 sachet = up to 5 brews = less waste per cup
Reusable glass and wood bottle replaces disposable cups
