Our Java Mate blends are made with Guayaki Yerba Mate and roasted Ramon Nut. Java Mate makes a delicious, rich beverage satisfying the coffee drinker.

Java Mate - Mocha Maca Ingredients: Organic Yerba Mate, Roasted Ramón Nut, Organic Roasted Maca, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Chocolate Extract, Organic Cinnamon, and Organic Clove Drink Java Mate, Protect 2 Rainforests! Using the same principle of bringing a rainforest product to the North American marketplace to create demand that will drive conservation, Guayakí has extended its product line to include Java Mate. Java Mate marries two powerful rainforest trees: yerba mate and ramón to create a healthful, energizing mate blend that tastes like coffee and feels like mate. Ramón is a nutritious nut rich in vitamins and proteins. Even though it has sustained Mayan civilizations for centuries, the people in Central America had not been harvesting and selling this commodity that falls to the rainforest floor each season. Gathering Ramón is an enjoyable process and is preferred to other work because its less physically demanding. It is also an activity in which both women and men can participate allowing for more family time. Java Mate is a product that honors the local people and brings much needed income to the poorest rural communities. Guayakí has been instrumental in creating the demand for an infrastructure for importation and production of ramón with the promise to maintain the same social justice standards integral to the Guayakí business model.

As a devoted coffee drinker for most of my life, I wanted to to make a conscious effort to eliminate it from my diet. I found Guayaki at Whole Foods and decided to give it a try. (Most coffee substitutes contain barley, which I also wanted to avoid). From my first brew I was hooked! Its amazing! I look forward to my cup in the morning. Its a fabulous and delicious product!

Regular coffee consumption bothers my system (headaches, stomach issues, etc), so i've switched to the Mocha Maca Java Mate blend, which satisfies that coffee craving without the side-effects. I drink it "black" or with honey. I appreciate your business model of creating sustainable living for the indigenous people of the rainforests. Thanks!

I love the Java Mate' I use it instead of 'coffee-grounds' and mix it with 3 tea bags of Traditional Mate. I'm off coffee entirely...which has helped my stomache... Wish I could get it locally so it wouldn't have to be shipped. Thanks. MC

I love this Mocha Maca Java Mate so much that I buy it in 5 pound compostable bags. When I open the bag the freshness of the aroma is amazing! I drink a pot of this every day. It is so healthy and delicious!

I've been trying to get my parents to switch from coffee to mate for a while, but they would end up missing the coffee taste. With the help of this tasty product, they now exclusively drink mate for their morning caffeine fix and are much healthier for it. Thanks GuayakÃÂ!

I love Yerba Mate ( the Traditional, Mate Chocolatté as well as the Chocolate Raspberry Organic Energy Shots). However, Mocha Maca Java Mate is not for me. Even if I add Stevia it still not a great cup of tea. I will stick with my old choices for the future. I just wish I did not buy 5 pounds.

I was looking for something healthier than coffee that would satisfy my coffee craving and go well with non-dairy (almond, hazlenut) milk. The Mocha Maca Java Mate does the job and I absolutely love the taste. The taste is deep, rich and strong with hints of cinnamon and chocolate. Yum!
