🧉 Two Drinks. Two Origins. Two Vibes.
Yerba mate is an ancient South American drink made from the leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant. Traditionally consumed hot or cold (as tereré), it’s been fueling generations with natural energy, antioxidants, and focus—without the crash.
Kombucha, on the other hand, is a fermented tea that’s grown popular for its probiotics and tangy fizz. It’s often flavored with fruits and spices and found in the refrigerated section of just about every health store.
Both have their place—but they serve different purposes.
⚡ Energy vs. Digestion
-
Yerba Mate: Known for its steady energy, mental clarity, and uplifting caffeine. Think of it as a clean coffee alternative without the spikes and crashes.
-
Kombucha: Popular for its gut-supporting benefits thanks to fermentation. It’s light, fizzy, and a bit sour—more of a digestive aid than an energy drink.
💬 "Kombucha feels like a reset. Yerba mate feels like a launchpad."
🧪 What About Sugar?
This one’s big.
-
Most kombucha brands contain 5–12 grams of sugar per bottle—even the “healthy” ones.
-
Teko Yerba Mate? Zero sugar. We use just a touch of natural stevia and native South American fruits for clean flavor and zero crash.

🌱 Final Takeaway
Kombucha has its perks, but if you’re looking for something to fuel your day—not just your digestion—yerba mate wins.

That’s a no-brainer.
