The Aroma Profile of Maté Fruity Boost
The opening is bright and direct. Lemon peel and lemongrass release a fresh citrus lift that makes the cup sparkle. Lime essential oil extends this vivacity with a deeper, almost candied zest.
At the heart, wild blueberry brings a rounded, gently tart fruitiness. This organic berry pairs naturally with the vegetal character of green Yerba Mate, creating a balance between tonic energy and indulgence. The natural blueberry aroma amplifies this fruity dimension without overshadowing the botanicals.
In the background, ginger lays down a quiet, warming spice, while guarana and matcha weave a denser, slightly vegetal and roasted foundation. Maca root adds a subtle malty note that rounds everything out. The result: an energising infusion with a balanced flavour, neither too herbaceous nor too sweet.
This fruity character lends itself particularly well to winter mornings, as well as those afternoons when focus starts to waver. Also worth exploring: our Pomegranate Redcurrant Maté if you enjoy bold fruity profiles, or discover other blends from our house.
The Energising Ingredients in This Blend
Each plant was chosen for its sensory and tonic contribution. Green Yerba Mate, originally from South America, has been consumed for centuries by the Guaraní people as a shared infusion from a gourd. To learn more about this fascinating plant, visit our guide what is Yerba Mate.
Guarana, a small red fruit native to Brazil, is known for its naturally high caffeine content. Its seeds carry one of the highest plant-based concentrations, with a gradual release very different from the sharp peak of coffee. Matcha, a fine powder of stone-ground green tea leaves, completes this synergy with a smooth, sustained energy and a beautiful emerald colour in the cup.
Maca root, a traditional plant from the Andean highlands, has long been used as a general tonic. Sencha rounds out the balance with the fresh, vegetal quality typical of green teas, its herbaceous notes opening the way for the fruit. The entire blend is certified organic, free from pesticides and synthetic additives. For further reading, see our article on Yerba Mate or the origins of green Maté.
This commitment to organic quality is the personal undertaking of Julien Huot, founder of Thés & Traditions, who selects each plant directly from trusted growers, with a focus on traceability and harvest freshness.
How to Prepare Maté Fruity Boost
To bring out the full aromatic range of this energising infusion, follow these precise parameters. Yerba Mate welcomes near-boiling water, unlike a pure green tea that would call for something gentler. Here, the robustness of the Mate and guarana handles the heat with ease.
- Water temperature: 100°C, just-boiled water
- Dosage: 14 to 17 g per litre, approximately 1.5 to 2 teaspoons per 250 ml cup
- Steeping time: 5 minutes
- Filtering: a stainless steel filter or a large paper infuser bag allows water to circulate freely through the botanicals
You can also enjoy this infusion in the South American tradition, in a gourd with a bombilla, re-infusing the same measure several times over. Each pass reveals a different facet, from fruitier to more vegetal. A convivial experience, traditionally meant to be shared.
For a summer iced version, double the dosage, brew for 5 minutes hot, filter and pour over large ice cubes. A few slices of fresh lemon and a sprig of mint turn this into a naturally energising cold drink. Try our green Maté to compare with a purer, more traditional style.
The Benefits of Mate and Guarana
Yerba Mate and guarana are two plants traditionally associated with vitality and alertness. Their natural caffeine content, sometimes referred to as mateine in the case of Mate, helps reduce the feeling of fatigue according to available scientific assessments from the EFSA.
Guarana, traditionally used to support mental focus, releases its caffeine more gradually than coffee thanks to its high tannin content. This explains that sense of sustained energy, without a sharp peak or sudden crash, making it particularly popular with students and busy professionals.
Maca, a traditional Andean plant, has been used for millennia as a general tonic. The ANSES nevertheless recommends keeping to standard doses and advises against caffeine-containing plants for pregnant women and children.
Enjoy our energising infusions as part of your daily ritual, varying your choice to match the mood of the moment. For an even stronger boost, our Stimulating Maté is built for high-intensity days.
Storage
Store this blend in an airtight container, away from light, moisture and strong odours. An opaque metal tin kept in a cupboard at room temperature will preserve the aromas beautifully for 18 to 24 months. Avoid the refrigerator, which causes condensation each time the lid is opened.
