About Chocolate Mint Mate

The Brain Fuel

Stop reaching for the 3 PM candy bar. This blend is designed to satisfy your sweet tooth and wake up your brain simultaneously. We start with Green Yerba Mate, South America’s favorite energy booster, and blend it with roasted cacao nibs, cooling peppermint, and real vanilla beans. It smells like a dessert, but fuels you like a superfood.

Why It Works

This is chemistry in a cup. Yerba Mate contains "mateine" (a gentle caffeine), while Cacao contains Theobromine (a mood-lifter). Together, they provide a sustained, jitter-free energy buzz that is vastly superior to the spike-and-crash of coffee. The peppermint adds a cooling finish that wakes up the senses.

The Latte Ritual

Make it a Mocha. While you can drink this straight, it really shines as a latte. Brew it strong (5 minutes), then top with foamed oat milk and a dash of honey. The fats in the milk bind with the cacao to create a creamy, rich texture that rivals your favorite coffee shop drink.

Organic Ingredients
  • Organic Yerba Mate
  • Organic Peppermint Leaf
  • Organic Roasted Cacao Nibs
  • Organic Roasted Carob
  • Organic Vanilla Beans
  • Organic Roasted Cacao Powder
Tasting Notes

Aroma: Like a peppermint patty—cool mint and rich, dark chocolate.

Flavor: Earthy and herbaceous. The green notes of the Mate are balanced by the toasty cacao and sweet carob.

Finish: A lingering, cooling mint sensation with a hint of vanilla.

Why You'll Love It

The Coffee Alternative: Yerba Mate provides a similar caffeine kick to coffee, but it is alkalizing rather than acidic. This means it is easier on the stomach and less likely to cause "coffee jitters."

Real Chocolate: We use organic roasted Cacao Nibs—the raw form of chocolate. You get the antioxidant benefits and the flavor, without the sugar and soy lecithin found in processed chocolate syrups.

Craft Your Cup

  • The Mate Latte: Brew 2 tsp of tea in 4oz boiling water. Strain and add 4oz of steamed milk and honey. It’s a healthy Peppermint Mocha.
  • Iced Power-Up: Cold brew this tea overnight. The long steep extracts more of the cocoa flavor, creating a smooth, refreshing iced tea that pairs perfectly with a workout.

Your Questions About Chocolate Mint Mate, Answered.

Does this taste like hot chocolate?

It is lighter. Think of it as a "Chocolate Tea." Because there are no dairy solids or syrups, it has the body of a tea (thin/watery) rather than a milkshake. We recommend adding milk if you want that creamy mouthfeel.

How much caffeine is in this?

High. Yerba Mate is comparable to coffee. Combined with the natural stimulants in Cacao, this is a high-energy blend perfect for mornings or the mid-afternoon slump. Avoid drinking it right before bed.

Is it sweet?

Mildly. We add organic Carob and Vanilla Bean, which provide a natural sweetness, but there is no added sugar. If you have a sweet tooth, a teaspoon of honey brings out the chocolate notes perfectly.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are YBTCO’s Teas Truly Organic?

Yes, every ingredient we source is certified USDA Organic. Our commitment is to craft our blends using only teas and botanicals from growers whose agricultural practices steward a better tomorrow.

While Yerba Buena Tea Co. as a company has not yet completed its own formal USDA Organic certification, our standards for purity and sustainability are unwavering. When you sip our tea, you’re tasting a commitment to clean soil, fresh air, and the honest labor of growers who share our belief that tea should be as good for the earth as it is for your cup. You can taste this commitment in our Connoisseur Collection.

Where Are Your Teas Blended and Packaged?

Every YBTCO tea is hand-blended in small batches in our dedicated tea kitchen located in beautiful Salem, Oregon.

Our process is slow by design. Blending in small lots allows us to ensure every pouch delivers maximum freshness, flavor, and the just-picked aroma that makes our teas special. It's a level of craftsmanship you can taste in every cup, especially in our Connoisseur Collection. We package each order with care so you can enjoy a touch of the Pacific Northwest, wherever you are.

Do Your Teas Contain Allergens or Gluten?

Your safety and enjoyment matter deeply to us. All YBTCO teas are naturally gluten-free and blended in a dedicated facility that does not process tree nuts (except coconut), wheat, barley, or rye.

The only common allergen you’ll find in our collection is coconut, which we use in select blends like our Maven Blend for its creamy, tropical note. We use no added flavorings, colorings, or artificial ingredients, just whole leaves, spices, and botanicals as nature intended.

If you have specific questions or sensitivities, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect tea with peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us.

What Is Your Tea Refill?

We believe good tea, and good habits, should be sustainable. That’s why YBTCO offers our teas in two forms to reduce waste and keep your tea fresh:

  • Start with a Signature Tin: Our beautiful, reusable, and recyclable tins are perfect for keeping your tea fresh on the shelf. They also make a wonderful present, which is why they are featured in our Gifts for Tea Lovers Collection.

  • Restock with a Refill Bag: When you're running low, simply order a refill bag to top up your tin. Our refill bags use minimal packaging and ensure you always have the freshest possible tea on hand.

This practice means less environmental impact and a ritual that feels good every time you open the lid.

What Is Your Shipping Policy?

We strive to get your tea to you as quickly and efficiently as possible so you can start enjoying it. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Processing Time: All orders are hand-packed with care and typically ship from our Salem, Oregon tea kitchen within 2 - 3 business days.
