Plastic-Free

Sustainability is one of the biggest trends for 2020 in many industries, and when it comes to the beverage industry, it means focusing on using less single-use plastic bottles and cups and generating less plastic waste whenever possible. Reusable cups and bottles are the way to go.

Kombucha

Kombucha has been around for a few years, but 2020 is the year when it will become a staple instead of just another fad trend that eventually goes away. That’s right, kombucha is here to stay.

Milk Alternatives

We’re already used to plant-based milk options being available at chain coffee shops, but you can expect to see even more alternatives to dairy milk in 2020. Get ready to drink more coconut, rice, oat, and hemp milk.

What’s Yerba Mate?

Yerba mate is a leafy shrub variety similar to the holly plant and it’s native to South America. Not to be confused with tea, it’s brewed like the beverage and drank from a yerba mate straw with a filter called a bombilla. The bombilla prevents the leaves from seeping through.

The taste is a bit earthy and bitter and it takes some getting used to.

Caffeine Content

Yerba mate doesn’t have quite as much caffeine as coffee, but it has more than tea. An 8-ounce serving of yerba mate has around 85 mg of caffeine and the same size serving of coffee has around 130 mg and green tea has around 50 mg. Although yerba mate has less caffeine than coffee, the energy you get from the drink lasts longer and you won’t feel jittery after consuming it.

Health Benefits

Yerba mate is known as the “Gift of Gods” in South American history because of its healing powers. The beverage contains 24 vitamins and minerals and 15 amino acids! It’s also associated with good heart health, weight loss, and blood sugar management.
