🧊 How to Prepare Yerba Mate Powder for Maximum Flavor and Hydration

If you’ve just picked up your first Teko stick (or are thinking about it), welcome. Teko isn’t your typical drink. It’s a modern take on an ancient tradition—made with organic yerba mate, 100% natural fruit flavors, and organic stevia for a refreshing lift without added sugar or synthetic ingredients.

But here’s the thing: how you mix it matters.
Done right, you get clean flavor, smooth energy, and just the right amount of herbal kick. So in this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to prepare Teko for the best possible experience.

Teko is a powdered drink mix inspired by tereré, the cold yerba mate infusion popular in Paraguay. We take the same plant—organic yerba mate—and process it at our own facility in Paraguay into a concentrated, water-soluble powder.

Then we blend it with:

• 100% natural fruit flavors (like lemon, peach-orange, pineapple, or passion fruit)

• A touch of natural mint extract for added refreshment

• Organic stevia to lightly sweeten—no added sugar, no calories

You don’t need to brew or steep anything. Just add water, shake, and go.

Here’s the best way to prepare your first stick of Teko:

Use cold, filtered water. Each stick is designed for 16 oz—your standard reusable bottle size.

• Want a lighter taste? Just add more water to dilute.

• Going for a long workout or all-day hydration? Use two sticks in a 32 oz bottle.

Each stick contains a precise blend of organic yerba mate, organic stevia, and natural flavor. Just tear, pour, and you're ready to mix.

Use a shaker bottle, water bottle, or even a glass with a spoon. Shake firmly until dissolved.

• Prefer less foam? Try shaking in a circular motion instead of up and down. Foam is totally natural (from yerba mate’s plant compounds), but this method keeps it lighter.

For an even crisper finish, drop in a few ice cubes or a slice of lemon, lime, or orange. Totally optional—Teko tastes great on its own too.

• Add a splash of coconut water for natural electrolytes

• Blend with sparkling water for a light fizz

• Stir in a few crushed mint leaves for extra coolness

• Drink fresh or within a few hours—just shake again if it settles

• Give it a good shake – Undissolved powder leads to uneven flavor. A strong shake helps everything blend properly.

• Enjoy soon after mixing – For the best texture and taste, drink within a couple of hours. If it sits, just give it another shake.

Teko is made for people who want something better. It’s simple to mix, easy to take with you, and refreshing any time of day. Whether you’re looking for a steady lift in the morning, a clean boost during your workout, or something to get you through the afternoon, this is the right way to try it.

Made with ingredients you can feel good about:

• Organic yerba mate

• Organic stevia

• 100% natural flavors and mint extract

• No sugar, no crash, no junk

One stick. One bottle. One better routine.
