Yachak Yerba Mate Drink, Ultimate Mint, 12 Count

I was over a neighbor's house not long ago and happened to be VERY thirsty, and he offered me one of these. I don't DO "energy drinks", because I have never enjoyed how jittery they make me or the crash I get from them. Then, there's the fact that they usually taste like a horse's dirty behind. Then I saw the caffeine content listed on the can and was wary. Almost didn't drink it. But, it was cold and it said it was tea, which I love, and as I said, I was THIRSTY. So, I drank it. Cut to today when I got a delivery of two more CASES of the stuff. This energy drink is my new favorite thing ever. I LOVE the taste of it and the energy it gives me is palpable but since it is Yerba Mate I don't crash from it and it doesn't make me feel like a crackhead, despite the fairly ridiculous amount of caffeine in it. I have only tried the mint flavor - mainly because when I ordered a can of the red berry flavor, Amazon shipped it in a bubble envelope and go ahead and guess what the can looked like when it got to me. Half empty and dented everywhere like someone got really angry and took it out on the poor can. Amazon's packaging has gone straight downhill lately, and it's turning me off of the site. In fact, when Amazon shipped me a case of this, they shipped it in a box two times the size of the case of cans and by the time I got the delivery I had to get a refund, because 90% of the cans were dented so badly you'd need to jam a knife into the can to get it open and half of them were leaking or straight up opened and drained. Shame on you, Amazon, where is your mind? ANYWAY, though, there's a store that rhymes with Hall Cart that shipped me two cases that arrived in brand new, undented condition. And, aside from shipping issues, I just highly recommend this drink to anyone looking for a boost. And, a tasty one, at that. Viva la Yachak!

This is my favorite Yerba Mate drink. I was elated to find it through Amazon, because the local store where I normally purchased it no longer carries the brand. The mint taste is nice and smooth, not over bearing and complements the tea nicely.

Nice alternative to the normal energy drinks with various chemicals that don’t sound good. This tastes great and very effective

This is not my favorite tasting mint Yerba mate as far as the canned ones go, but for the price it’s pretty good! I prefer the Guayaki brand more, but those are pretty expensive so I don’t mind paying less and ordering this brand instead.

It’s an acquired taste, but if you’ve acquired it this tastes great. Like the mint flavor over the others. Seems to fit. Blueberry is decent too. Will buy again when on special, but normal price isn’t reasonable (IMO). Also, a lot of added sugar (equivalent to most others of similar size/flavor, just meaning in general). Prefer Yerba Mate to other energy drinks, doesn’t give me jitters. Supposedly healthier. Have been trying other flavors/brands with less added sugar to find one that can pull off not tasting gross w/o a 50% daily serving of sugar per can.
