What You Should Know

You'll find this canned yerba mate in the refrigerated or shelf-stable beverage aisle next to other ready-to-drink teas and energy drinks — a grab-and-go option for busy mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups. It projects a bright, energizing and health-forward vibe (berry‑lemon refreshment with minimal sugar), but the use of brewed tea plus extracts, concentrates, added caffeine and ‘natural flavor’ points to industrial formulation, giving consistent flavor and shelf stability. These processing clues are typical of ultra-processed drinks rather than single-ingredient beverages.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This is a ready-to-drink beverage containing brewed tea plus extracts, juice concentrates, added (isolated) caffeine and natural flavors — industrial formulations and additives characteristic of NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed). Despite organic ingredients and low sugar, the presence of extracts and flavoring agents indicates significant processing.
