What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated grab-and-go case or specialty tea aisle as a fizzy, organic yerba mate alternative to soda. It reads like a health-forward treat—bright, sparkling and slightly indulgent—but the added organic cane sugar, juice concentrates, natural flavors and acidity regulators signal an industrially formulated, ready-to-drink product with a fizzy mouthfeel typical of ultra-processed beverages.
