Frequently Asked Questions

Ola Mate is a yerba mate–based sparkling functional drink, powered by adaptogens. We combine organic yerba mate with bright, refreshing flavors and thoughtfully selected functional ingredients to deliver smooth, steady energy without the crash.

Ola Mate is USDA Organic, made with naturally occurring caffeine, and crafted for everyday focus, clarity, and balance. No artificial flavors. No unnecessary additives. Just clean energy designed for real life.

Traditional energy drinks often rely on high sugar, synthetic caffeine, and additives that spike energy fast and drop it just as quickly. Ola Mate delivers a smoother, more balanced lift from yerba mate, complemented by adaptogens that support focus, mental clarity, and a sense of calm balance. Fewer highs, fewer lows, and a cleaner energy experience designed for real life.

Yes. Ola Mate is lightly carbonated, giving it a crisp, refreshing finish without being overly fizzy.

Yerba mate is naturally rich in antioxidants and plant compounds that support focus and steady energy. Many people choose it as a more balanced alternative to coffee or traditional energy drinks, offering clarity and alertness without the usual crash.

Each 12-oz (355 ml) can of Ola Mate contains 125 mg of naturally occurring caffeine from yerba mate and green tea extract. That’s roughly equivalent to about 1.5 cups of brewed coffee, delivering smooth, balanced energy without the sharp spike and crash.

Yes. Yerba mate contains naturally occurring caffeine, which most people experience as smoother and longer-lasting than coffee, helping you stay alert and focused without the jitters or sudden energy drop.

The caffeine in Ola Mate comes from organic yerba mate and organic green tea extract. Both are natural plant sources of caffeine, contributing to a smoother, more balanced energy experience compared to synthetic caffeine.

Organic caffeine is caffeine that comes from certified organic plant sources, rather than being synthetically produced. In Ola Mate, our caffeine comes from organic yerba mate and organic green tea extract, meaning it’s naturally occurring and sourced from plants grown without synthetic pesticides or chemicals.

Adaptogens are plant-based ingredients traditionally used to help the body adapt to everyday stress and support overall balance.

Ola Mate includes:

• Ashwagandha, commonly used to support stress management and a sense of calm balance
• Lion’s Mane mushroom, traditionally associated with focus, mental clarity, and cognitive support

Together, they complement yerba mate’s natural energy by supporting a more grounded, focused feeling, not overstimulation.

Each can of Ola Mate contains 2-3 grams of sugar, depending on the flavor. The sugar comes from organic juices and is balanced with natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. No added refined sugar, just a light touch of sweetness for balance.

Ola Mate is designed to be light and functional without the heavy caloric load of traditional sodas or energy drinks:

• Coconut Lavender: 20 calories
• Grapefruit Ginger: 20 calories
• Raspberry Bliss: 20 calories

Yes, every last one of them. We use organic yerba mate, real fruit juices, and functional adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Lion’s Mane (technically a functional fungus, but 100% vegan-friendly). Even our sweetness is plant-derived, using organic monk fruit and stevia instead of refined sugars or synthetic junk. No lab-made shortcuts, no animal products, just clean, earth-grown energy.

Ola Mate is great for morning focus or an afternoon pick-me-up when you want steady energy without the crash. Each can contains 125 mg of naturally occurring caffeine. Most health authorities recommend up to 400 mg of caffeine per day for healthy adults, which is roughly equivalent to 3–4 cups of brewed coffee (about 95 mg per cup).

Yes. Many people enjoy Ola Mate as a daily alternative to coffee or energy drinks. As with any caffeinated beverage, we recommend enjoying it in moderation and listening to your body.

Cans protect flavor, chill quickly, and are infinitely recyclable. Paired with BPANI linings, they’re a safe, responsible choice for both quality and sustainability.

Yes. All Ola Mate cans use BPANI-lined packaging, meaning they’re free from BPA and other bisphenols commonly used in can linings. We chose this intentionally because what holds your drink matters as much as what’s inside it.
