What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated bottled-tea or natural beverages section (or in a shared office fridge) as a grab-and-go, minty yerba mate 4-pack. It projects a wellness-forward, slightly indulgent vibe—refreshing, lightly sweet, and meant as a convenient energy pick-me-up. The mix of brewed leaf, concentrated yerba mate extract, added cane sugar, natural flavor and acidulant signals industrial extraction and blending for a uniform, shelf-ready drink—typical cues of ultra-processed beverages.
