WHERE IT ALL BEGINS

Wild Mate was born from a deep-rooted love for South America’s rich yerba mate tradition. Inspired by the centuries-old communal rituals of the Guaraní and introduced to the world via Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Wild Mate carries forward the timeless values of connection, community, and shared vitality—all through an organic, modern-day brew.This discovery went beyond just finding a new beverage; it represented a significant shift in well-being, vitality.

The Origins

A Treasure from the South American Rainforest

Yerba mate traces its roots back to the indigenous Guaraní people of South America, who saw it not just as a drink, but as a sacred gift from nature. Grown in the subtropical rainforests of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, it was traditionally harvested, dried, and shared in a communal circle—sipped slowly through a metal straw called a bombilla. Over time, mate became a symbol of connection, hospitality, and vitality across cultures. Today, that same spirit lives on, blending centuries-old ritual with modern wellness in every cup.

From Burnout
to Balance

A few years ago, I hit a wall. Between long workdays and constant screen time, I found myself relying on sugary energy drinks just to get through the day. They gave me a jolt—but always left me feeling worse.

Then, while traveling through South America, I discovered Yerba Mate. It wasn’t just the clean energy that got me—it was the ritual. Slower, intentional, grounding. I brought some home, started experimenting, and that’s when Makuna was born. Makuna is my answer to the crash-and-burn lifestyle.

Frequently asked questions

What is yerba mate?

Wild Mate is a clean energy drink powered by organic yerba mate and natural herbs. It’s made for people who want calm, sustained energy without the sugar highs or coffee crashes.

How much caffeine is in a serving of Wild mate?

Each serving of MAKUNA contains about 95–100 mg of caffeine, depending on the brew method—about the same as a mild cup of coffee, but with added benefits from polyphenols, vitamins, and amino acids. We blended Makuna with L-Theanine to give you a clean, sustained energy experience. 

Will it make me jittery or anxious?

Not likely! Unlike coffee, mate contains theobromine—a compound also found in chocolate—that delivers a calmer, more focused energy. Most users describe it as a "clean alertness" without jitters or a crash.

Is wild mate organic and sustainably sourced?

Yes! MAKUNA is made from 100% organic, air-dried yerba mate, sourced from regenerative farms in Brazil. We work closely with local growers to ensure ethical labor and sustainable agriculture practices.

Do you offer subscriptions or bundles?

Yes! We offer monthly subscriptions, build-your-own bundles, and seasonal limited-edition packs. Subscriptions come with a discount and early access to new blends.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently ship within the U.S. and Canada, and are working on expanding internationally soon. Orders over $50 ship free within the U.S.

How do I prepare wild mate at home?

Just pour one stick pack into 12–16 oz of water, depending on your flavor preference. Stir or shake well for about 2 minutes, then sip and enjoy!
