Yerba mate does contain caffeine and it does not depend on how you prepare it. Descriptions such as "mateine" are an attempt to explain the unique way yerba mate acts on the body, which is different than caffeine when present in coffee -- but it's still caffeine. I know a lot of people who prepare it the way you do, but I don't know of anyone "rebrewing" it because it is much weaker the second time around; however, there is nothing wrong with doing it that way. It really isn't any different than continuing to pour fresh water into a mate gourd to make it last for hours. 2. Repeated use of yerba mate will stain your teeth, but not as much as coffee or tea. Regular dental visits will keep the stains in check. 3. Yerba mate really does contain all of the nutrients you've read about. Whether those nutrients will translate into a health benefit for you depends on many factors including: how your body reacts to the nutrients, what other sources of nutrients you already have in your diet and what nutrients your body may be lacking.

Some of the questions I have are as follows: 1. Does mate have caffeine or not? Or does it depend on how you fix it. I have been brewing it in my perculator like coffee. After the first batch is done, I rebrew another pot. 2. Does mate stain your teeth like coffee or tea? 3. Does it really have all the health benefits I've read about? Looking forward to your response, Adrienne We are new to using Mate. Some of the questions I have are as follows:

As an alternative, if you have a Cuban restaurant in your area, you can ask them where they buy it. That was how I first found an ethnic market that sold it in the Los Angeles area. I have found it in several stores since then. As a last resort, call or e-mail Cawy Bottling Company in Miami and ask them for the name of a distributor than covers your area and then call or e-mail the distributor.
