What You Should Know

You'd spot this chilled in the refrigerated beverages or natural foods aisle — a fizzy, on‑the‑go yerba mate drink positioned as a refreshing, health‑minded pick-me-up. The vibe is organic and uplifting (bright grapefruit and ginger) with a modern, adventurous twist. Its carbonation, added sweetener, isolated caffeine and 'natural flavor'/extracts signal industrial processing for consistent texture, flavor and shelf stability, typical of ultra-processed ready-to-drink products.
