{"product_id":"clean-energy","title":"Clean Energy","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe sustained-focus cup built from two caffeine sources.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazilian Yerba Mate is the base. Peppermint, schisandra berries, eleuthero root, ginkgo biloba, licorice root, and eucalyptus round it out. Seven ingredients, each one pulling a specific job: the Yerba Mate delivers the caffeine backbone (roughly 65-75mg per cup), the peppermint brightens the palate, the schisandra berries add a tart-sweet complexity, the eleuthero and ginkgo sit in the adaptogen lane, the licorice binds the flavor, the eucalyptus opens the sinuses. The cup tastes minty, earthy, lightly sweet, and drinks like something you'd make for a deadline, not a moment of relaxation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Yerba Mate works differently than coffee.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYerba Mate is \u003cem\u003eIlex paraguariensis\u003c\/em\u003e, a South American holly species cultivated across Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The caffeine content sits between green tea and coffee, but the compound profile includes theobromine (the alkaloid in chocolate) and theophylline (a bronchodilator), which modulate the stimulant effect. Traditional gaucho culture treats Mate as an all-day social drink, passed in a gourd among friends and refilled repeatedly. The steady lift, not the spike-and-crash. Mate also contains chlorogenic acids and saponins, plant compounds studied in modern phytochemistry for antioxidant activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe adaptogen support layer.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEleuthero root is \u003cem\u003eEleutherococcus senticosus\u003c\/em\u003e, often called Siberian Ginseng, used in Traditional Chinese Medicine under the name \u003cem\u003eci wu jia\u003c\/em\u003e as a Qi tonic. Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest living tree species on the planet, with fossil records dating back 270 million years. Both herbs sit in the adaptogen category in Western herbalism, plants that support the body's response to physical and mental stress. The combination doesn't eliminate fatigue, but it tends to smooth the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yerba Buena Tea Co.","offers":[{"title":"Tea Tin","offer_id":47256269029698,"sku":"SQ0565636","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tea Refill","offer_id":47256269062466,"sku":"SQ0565637","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0862\/4962\/files\/clean-energy-loose-leaf-mate-ybtco.webp?v=1779851323","url":"https:\/\/ybtco.mom\/products\/clean-energy","provider":"Yerba Buena Tea Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
