Yerba Mate Caffeine Explained

Yerba mate naturally contains caffeine. ALLUBI is not caffeine-free, and we do not publish a fixed milligram amount without testing a defined brew.

Why the amount varies

The dry leaf amount, serving size, water temperature, brewing time, and repeated refills affect extraction. A filtered mug and a traditional mate session cannot be compared by cup count alone.

Natural caffeine still counts

Naturally occurring caffeine is not a guarantee against jitters, sleep disruption, or other unwanted effects. Count mate alongside coffee, tea, and other caffeinated products.

Make a deliberate first brew

Begin with a light filtered recipe rather than adding a large traditional session to your usual coffee intake. Adjust gradually and consider how caffeine affects your sleep.

Find guidance for your circumstances

Sensitivity varies. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or managing a condition affected by caffeine, ask a qualified health professional about an appropriate limit.
