Club-Mate is a caffeinated carbonated maté-extract beverage made by the Loscher Brewery (Brauerei Loscher) in Germany. Club-Mate is popular for its relatively high caffeine content (20 mg per 100 ml) and low sugar content compared to other beverages and energy drinks. Club-Mate became well known in the Berlin's club scene during the 90’s as an alternative to unhealthy energy drinks. Club-Mate is m
ade from Mate - an old South American jungle plant. With its naturally occurring unique combination of stimulants, maté still works miracles, even in this day and age. In South America mate is usually prepared in a gourd. First, mate leaves are placed into the gourd, and boiling water is added carefully to allow the yerba mate to remain towards the bottom of the gourd. The yerba mate is allowed to cool below boiling, steeping into a tea in the process. As with other teas, the longer yerba mate steeps, the more potent it will be when it is prepared. There is one full teaspoon of yerba-mate tea in every single bottle of Club-Mate . Therefore Club-Mate is a treat to your tongue and a necessity to your body. Club-Mate is made from premium class mate tea, but it's richer, lighter and sweeter than a self-made maté infusion. Well, let's listen to what a doctor says: Aside from reducing thirst, even when hiking or sunburn have made it almost impossible for you to bear. The stimulating effect, however, will not go to a point, where your well-being or need for sleep are affected in a negative way." Your body needs a drink that tastes good, encourages best performance, but at the same time will not strain your heart.
