Mate or coffee: what are the differences?


Mate or coffee: what are the differences?

Coffee and mate contain caffeine, but why are these two drinks so different and what are the advantages of switching from coffee to mate?

MATÉ VS COFFEE: WHY DRINK MATÉ INSTEAD OF COFFEE?

Coffee and mate contain caffeine (also present in tea because it remains exactly the same molecule as theine as shown in this study: read the Futura Science article )

  • One of the big differences between these two drinks is that mate contains less caffeine than coffee: around 34mg of caffeine for 100ml of mate, compared to 90mg for a 50ml espresso coffee .
  • Coffee has an exciting effect and gives a feeling of fatigue which generally occurs when the caffeine “comes down”. Conversely, mate provides diffuse energy, which does not cause fatigue.
  • Mate has greater diuretic properties than coffee. Quite simply because liquid consumption is greater with mate than with coffee. It is therefore an ideal advantage for those looking to lose weight or eliminate toxins.
  • Mate herb (also called yerba mate ) is more nutritious and is considered a superfood : Mate contains antioxidants, vitamins B1 and B2, more than ten types of amino acids, iron, magnesium, sodium and potassium. All these nutrients are naturally contained in the mate leaf. Unlike coffee which comes from a seed and does not contain as much nutrition.
  • Mate is sipped slowly and re-infused up to 15 times without changing the mate herb! Not only does drinking mate take longer and be cheaper (because it can be re-infused) than drinking coffee, but it is also the ideal drink for meeting up with friends or family. In Argentina, sharing a mate is a sign of trust and openness to others , it is a precious moment to share a moment with our loved ones, around a healthy and 100% natural drink.

    Excellent, mate has allowed me to reduce smoking and perhaps soon to stop. By drinking this mate, it reduces the lack of nicotine but above all it makes me sick of cigarettes!
