Maté (Mah-Tay) Party. In english yerba mate is spelled with either an accent over the e or without. Most yerba mate is grown in Argentina where they spell yerba mate with no accent over the e.

We have chosen an accented é for the brand name Maté Party for ease of pronunciation for english readers, but we refer to the tea itself in the traditional way "yerba mate".

Simply put: No!

Yerba Mate is a tea in the holly family. Maté Party is not fermented like kombucha, but instead brewed just like tea! It has natural caffeine and other antioxidents just like tea as well. We then add lemon, carbonate it and pop it into a can for you to enjoy.

We are now selling Maté Party online! We can ship cases of Maté Party right so your door! And also offer FREE DELIVERY for the Portland Metro area.

And here is an up to date list of retailers that carry Maté Party!

We are deeply concerned about the future of our planet. Because of this every decision we make at Big Fun Beverages is through the lens of care. From our organic ingredients to how we package our beverage (we choose aluminum over glass) to how treat our waste product (oh you know we compost!), and who we choose to work with (local, local, local).

But it extends further than just our project. While we are still a young company, our mission includes spreading some money around to folks who make a difference. 

We are taking action by supporting and donating to Sunrise Movement PDX, a youth lead climate action group whose chapter is based in Portland. The Sunrise Movement is motivating youth around the world to get involved in climate action with a goal of making the planet healthier and safer for everyone. 

We also love the work Elakha Alliance is doing to protect the sea otters who in turn keep the sea urchin population in check so we can strengthen the health of our kelp forest. (Did you know kelp grows faster than bamboo, and does an incredible job in carbon sequestration? it also provides habitat for sea life, and is a natural buffer for big waves). 

As we grow so will our donations, because we want the party to go on and on and on and on

In a side-by-side taste test with Club-Mate, Maté Party comes out on top every time! Plus its local! It's hard to get Club Maté in the United States right now that isn't expired.

Maté Party is similar to Club Mate because they are both yerba mate sodas. But Maté Party uses real tea, lemon and sugar, while club-mate's ingredients are tea extract, citric acid, carbonic acid, inverted sugar syrup and caramel coloring. The syrup makes it a lot sweeter and the acids tend to give off a chemical flavor instead of lemon. Although we LOVE and truly are inspired by Club-Mate, we wanted a simpler tasting product where the tea can shine without covering it with other flavors.

Yerba Mate contains 3 xanthines: caffeine, theobromine, andtheophylline. Xanthines are mild stimulants which increase your alertness recall memory as well as bronchodilators which relax your airways.

Many people report being in a better mood after drinking yerba mate as well as having a better workout when consuming yerba mate before and after.
