Whole leaves. Real yerba maté leaves, not extract or powder. It’s the same leaf shared from gourds in South America for centuries.
Cold brewed. Steeped slowly in cold water, for a smooth, earthy taste without the bitterness of a hot brew.
Lightly sparkling. A little sparkle and just a touch of unrefined cane sugar. Nothing you can’t pronounce.
Our first maté came in a can: extract and syrup, and not much else. Then, on our honeymoon in Buenos Aires, we tried the real thing, and we were hooked.
Back in London, shop fridges were full of kombucha, iced coffee and matcha, but not one maté in a can that was made properly. So we went back to the source: tereré, the cold-water maté of Paraguay and northern Argentina. We started cold brewing whole leaves at home.
That’s how Matelo started. Whole leaves. Cold brewed. Nothing you can’t pronounce.
The result is a naturally caffeinated, lightly sparkling maté that tastes like the real thing. Because that’s all it is.
