Functional Tea Launches

Uncle Matt’s Organic Yerba Mate Energy Tea Offers a Sustained Lift

Uncle Matt’s 'Organic Yerba Mate Energy Tea' marks the latest innovation from the nation’s #1 organic orange juice brand, blending function, flavor, and clean energy in one refreshing brew. Launching this month at Whole Foods Market and Sprouts, the 52-oz tea delivers 100mg of naturally derived caffeine from organic yerba mate and green tea -- sweetened with organic wildflower honey and just 45 calories per serving.

Brewed and cold-filled to preserve maximum flavor and antioxidants, the tea offers a smoother, longer-lasting lift than coffee, with no crash or jitteriness. It’s USDA Certified Organic, Glyphosate Residue Free, and made without toxic pesticides or artificial ingredients.

By entering the functional tea market with its Organic Yerba Mate Energy Tea, Uncle Matt’s extends its reputation for clean, purposeful innovation beyond juice. Positioned at the intersection of wellness and convenience, this launch strengthens the brand’s foothold in refrigerated functional beverages as consumer demand for natural energy alternatives continues to surge.
