Quick question

[Technomage]

Anyone here drink yerba mate? If so what kind, and what are its effects, I hear its better than coffee energy wise, I am trying to stop drinking coffee. Ideas anyone?

I drink it instead of coffee. Guayaki is a great brand you can get in Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Wild Oats (maybe) and other specialty/health grocerys stores. It's easy to make but you have to be careful not to make too hot or you'll burn the leaves. Some people don't like the taste, but I love it. Also, be careful not to drink too much initially because it has a lot more 'kick' than coffee

What is this stuff? Sounds interesting.

Its like coffee but the kick is much smoother and longer lasting than coffee. Not to mention much healthier, with the anti-oxdiens and etc

i don't know about synthetic caffiene, but I find green tea products to do the trick and make the whole running/offseason thing a lot easier... green tea lemonade from starbucks, so you can keep your status symbol
