Story

Mate tea, also known as yerba mate, was first cultivated hundreds of years ago by the Tupi-Guarani tribes in the Parana rainforests where the borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet.

As the awakening and mind-opening effects of this mystical plant are discovered, it is regarded as a gift from the gods and becomes a part of daily rituals.

Mate Renaissance

Mate tea, which is just beginning to gain global popularity alongside tea and coffee, was reborn in Germany in the early 2000s under the name mate.

With its low calorie content and energizing effect, it has become popular as a natural energy drink, a symbol of campuses, offices, and festivals.

Matea

Two friends who moved to Berlin in 2023 were influenced by mate culture and returned, and Matea was born in 2025 as Türkiye's first local mate brand.

Not an extract, but an infusion.

Unlike many major beverage brands, our mate tea is not processed into an extract but is infused using a delicate brewing method.

Production

Grown with 500-year-old traditions by our producers in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, our mate tea is hand-harvested, dried, and ground over a period of 1-3 years.

Authentic Mate Tea,
High Quality and Fresh

Locally Produced

Our mate infusion is bottled here, a first in Türkiye, contributing to local production.

Sustainable Packaging

Matea is produced in recyclable glass bottles instead of plastic or tin cans to minimize harm to the environment.
