Key Takeaways

• Supermaté is a Melbourne-based yerba maté soda brand

From South America to Melbourne

Yerba maté has been enjoyed for centuries across Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. Traditionally, it is brewed and shared socially using a gourd and metal straw.

Supermaté takes that ingredient and brings it into a format that fits modern Australian life. Instead of hot preparation, it is brewed, carbonated, and canned to be enjoyed cold and on the go.

Built for Australian Taste and Lifestyle

Supermaté is made with local preferences in mind.

The flavour is lighter, more refreshing, and designed to be easy to drink straight from the can. It is not overly sweet, which makes it suitable for longer sessions, whether that is during the day or out with friends.

The goal is simple. Keep it refreshing, keep it drinkable, and make it something people reach for more than once.

A Natural Buzz Without Alcohol

One of the biggest reasons people try yerba maté soda is for its natural caffeine.

It gives the drink a role that sits somewhere between coffee, soda, and non-alcoholic drinks. People often reach for it before heading out, during long afternoons, or at social events where they want to stay switched on.

If you’re interested in how these drinking habits are changing, our article on why Australians are choosing non-alcoholic drinks will help give some useful context.

Designed for Social Moments

Supermaté is not just a daytime drink.

It fits into BBQs, parties, festivals, and weekends where people want something that feels social but does not rely on alcohol. The canned format makes it easy to bring, share, and enjoy without preparation.

That flexibility is part of why drinks like this are becoming more common across Australia.

From Fridge to Anywhere

Ready-to-drink formats change how people discover and use beverages.

There is no brewing, mixing, or setup. Just open the can and drink it cold. This makes it easier to include in everyday routines, whether that is work, travel, or social plans.

Part of a Bigger Shift

Supermaté sits within a broader shift in how people choose drinks.

There is growing interest in:

• non-alcoholic options

• lower sugar drinks

• alternatives to traditional energy drinks

Instead of choosing between soda, alcohol, or coffee, people now have more options that sit between those categories.
