What You Should Know

You'd spot this chilled four-pack in the refrigerated tea/functional beverage cooler or grab one on a grocery run when you want a herbal, caffeinated pick-me-up. It projects a wholesome, outdoorsy vibe but the ready-to-drink format with added cane sugar, yerba mate extract, natural flavors and citric acid signals an industrially formulated product typical of ultra-processed drinks.
