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 your teas organic?

The Short Answer: Yes. Every single leaf, root, and flower we source is Certified USDA Organic.

The Details: We believe that flavor starts in the soil. We strictly partner with growers who practice sustainable, organic farming, organic approved pesticides, no GMOs, and no "natural flavorings" sprayed on the leaves. While our Salem facility is a dedicated small-batch kitchen (and not yet a certified processing plant), our commitment to 100% organic ingredients is absolute. You are drinking pure nature, nothing else.

What are the "Refill Bags"?

We designed our system to be sustainable.

Our Signature Tin, protects the tea and contains all the detailed brewing and ingredient information.

The Refill:
When you run low, you buy a Refill Bag.

Please Note: These biodegradable bags are designed as "Transport Vessels" only. They are not intended for individual sale. Upon arrival, please use the refill bag with into your YBTCO Tin. This ensures your tea stays fresh and you have the correct brewing instructions at hand.

Where is this made?

Handcrafted in Oregon.

Every batch of Yerba Buena tea is blended, tested, and packed in our dedicated tea kitchen in Salem, Oregon. We do not use co-packers or giant industrial machines. We blend in small lots to ensure that the oils are still volatile and the spices are still punchy when they reach your cup. It is a difference you can taste.

Is it safe for allergies (Gluten/Nuts)?

We keep it clean. All YBTCO teas are naturally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan. Our facility does not process wheat, soy, peanuts, or dairy.

The Coconut Note: The only allergen present in our facility is Coconut (Tree Nut), which is used in specific blends like Maven Blend and Turmeric Spice. We adhere to strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a severe tree nut allergy, please shop with caution.

When will my order ship?

We know you are ready to brew. Because we hand-pack orders, they typically leave our Oregon kitchen within 2-3 business days.

  • Free Shipping: We cover the shipping on all US orders over $70.
  • The Carriers: We ship via USPS and UPS. You’ll get a tracking number the second your label is printed so you can follow the tea to your doorstep.
