    Hopefully by the end of this thread there will be more people appreciating yerba mate for it's healthier qualities.

    it is cheaper if you can't find a good deal on mate. i pay $6.99 for a kilo of commercial grade argentinian mate. the packaging is in spanish and is praised to be the best down there in South America. just look around though and you will find great deals out there with which you would never find with coffee. i would look online if you can't find a good deal at your local herb store. ;)

    Mountain Dew. But coffee is a good second.

    Redline Xtreme. It's the only TRUE energy drink that is widely marketed. It contains everything from yohimbe to 5-HTP.

    how does yerba mate compare to coffee? is it also caffeine? is there a specific reason you would choose it over coffee?
    and in the US, is it sold like traditional tea?

    I chose tea because that's what I drink more often than not--and I usually drink it cold, although I like hot tea now and then too! As for coffee, I don't drink it that often--I guess I have to be in the mood for it! :) I've tried yerba mate, though--it's good, but it gives me nasty headaches! :( And as far as other energy drinks go, I've tried Red Bull a few times--it's pretty good, but as expensive as it is, I don't usually buy it!

    I drink coffee not for the energy but because I like coffee.

    coca tea, ftw

    i've had about 8 bags worth in the past two hours, a bit beyond what i needed....along with about 3 bags worth of green tea, and working on a mug of white tea....

    but i'm justifying it because i'm sick right now, and its all good for you.

    anyway, i'm super peppy right now haha

    but i prefer soaking the coca in wine or liquor for a night or two and drinking that to taking the tea, its more enjoyable. but i like the tea for jitters-free stimulation. but add in a bunch of tea and such an excessive amount of coca, and there is a little bit of jitters....

    I really like the taste of Monster, so I would say that. Caffeine is the opposite for me though, because I have ADD. So it actually calms me down and stuff.

    But yeah. Monster is the best tasting.
