Yachak Yerba Mate Drink, Ultimate Mint, Packaging May Vary, 16 Fl Oz, Pack of 12

Yes, the price has gone up on Amazon by, at least with the best flavor (Mint), by $20. So I bought the Blackberry. I need caffeine and have trouble with coffee, so maté is good. Portable maté even better.Everyone everywhere thinks there is too much sugar in here, but it’s better to me than sucralose or stevia, which make me ill.I thought the Blackberry would be too sweet, but since its natural blackberry it’s a little sweet n’ sour and it does have that grassy earthy smell and taste of maté — it’s not just a sugary juice, it’s definitely a very caffeinated tea.I might buy Blackberry again if Mint is still so pricey. I do prefer the Mint, which is especially refreshing. And yeah, Guayaki is inarguably better in taste and sugar content and flavor options, but boy is it expensive.Yachak does the job, and at the end of the day tastes better than any Monster or Red Bull.

It’s an acquired taste, but if you’ve acquired it this tastes great. Like the mint flavor over the others. Seems to fit. Blueberry is decent too.Will buy again when on special, but normal price isn’t reasonable (IMO). Also, a lot of added sugar (equivalent to most others of similar size/flavor, just meaning in general).Prefer Yerba Mate to other energy drinks, doesn’t give me jitters. Supposedly healthier.Have been trying other flavors/brands with less added sugar to find one that can pull off not tasting gross w/o a 50% daily serving of sugar per can.

Good energy drink, no jitters. Great taste, highly recommend

The media could not be loaded. Would give 5 stars but package and product was damaged during delivery.

It has 15mg of caffeine more than its competitor and you feel let.Let's put it that way, this thing acts differently than coffee. The mg you get are equivalent to 1.5 cup of coffee, but you feel as if you drank 3-4 of them.No stomach ache (I am sensitive to this when drinking too strong coffee) and taste is nice.It has slightly more sugar than its competitor, but it is somehow good if you drink this before sport or at the beginning of your working afternoon.Overall, it's great.I had the 12 for 26USD which is a bit more than 6 USD less than its competitor.Let's note that it DOES contain coffee in addition to yerba.Would be nice if the producer says what is the share of coffee vs yerba.You really don't feel any coffee taste though.

Before I got home to have this wonderful product on my doorstep, I asked the Peruvian working at a local Peruvian store what the Quechua word for shaman was. He thought for a long while, then said Yachak. Cool. Love this natural caffeine sorce too.

I was over a neighbor's house not long ago and happened to be VERY thirsty, and he offered me one of these. I don't DO "energy drinks", because I have never enjoyed how jittery they make me or the crash I get from them. Then, there's the fact that they usually taste like a horse's dirty behind.Then I saw the caffeine content listed on the can and was wary. Almost didn't drink it. But, it was cold and it said it was tea, which I love, and as I said, I was THIRSTY.So, I drank it.Cut to today when I got a delivery of two more CASES of the stuff. This energy drink is my new favorite thing ever. I LOVE the taste of it and the energy it gives me is palpable but since it is Yerba Mate I don't crash from it and it doesn't make me feel like a crackhead, despite the fairly ridiculous amount of caffeine in it.I have only tried the mint flavor - mainly because when I ordered a can of the red berry flavor, Amazon shipped it in a bubble envelope and go ahead and guess what the can looked like when it got to me. Half empty and dented everywhere like someone got really angry and took it out on the poor can. Amazon's packaging has gone straight downhill lately, and it's turning me off of the site. In fact, when Amazon shipped me a case of this, they shipped it in a box two times the size of the case of cans and by the time I got the delivery I had to get a refund, because 90% of the cans were dented so badly you'd need to jam a knife into the can to get it open and half of them were leaking or straight up opened and drained. Shame on you, Amazon, where is your mind?ANYWAY, though, there's a store that rhymes with Hall Cart that shipped me two cases that arrived in brand new, undented condition. And, aside from shipping issues, I just highly recommend this drink to anyone looking for a boost. And, a tasty one, at that.Viva la Yachak!

I'll usually have two energy drinks during a 12 hour shift and for a while I was drinking zero sugar monster or redbull. Love me some yerba mate, but dislike the $3/can of the major brand so I gave this a shot and was pleasantly surprised. Tastes great and doesn't cost a kidney. Unfortunately, there's way too much sugar in these so I'm back to zero sugar drinks and the low sugar yerba from the major brand. If Yachak ever makes a zero/low sugar option at the same price point then I'd buy two cases a week. Otherwise, sugar is closer to a recreational substance than it is a food and choosing to ingest that much sugar on the daily is willful ignorance.
