Yerba Mate offers a wide range of taste possibilities depending on its preparation. Green Yerba Mate offers signature honey and floral notes, while roasted Yerba Mate delivers a distinctive burnt sugar aroma. Benefiting from Givaudan’s extensive experience in taste, we’ll help you find the perfect balance for a winning taste experience with our Yerba Mate ingredients.
In addition to traditional powder extracts, our Yerba Mate also comes in special concentrated infusions, which offer all the advantages of a regular infusion but without the need for aseptic packaging, providing easier logistics and use. These are water extracted to maintain the unique sensory properties of the plant. They offer consumers the traditional appeal by offering consumer friendly labels like Brew or Infusion while retaining the authentic taste signature of Yerba Mate.
Our Yerba Mate extracts are soluble in water, making them suitable for still and carbonated beverages from teas to energy drinks. Yerba Mate can be added to clear beverage formulations for a homogeneous dispersion.
Yerba Mate offers the appeal of a well-known energiser with naturally occurring caffeine. We can help you find the right format and dosage to create the perfect wellbeing experience in line with consumer expectations.
