MACHU PICCHUENERGY, Zero Sugar Yerba Mate, Clean Energy Drink Alternative, 12oz (Pack of 12) - 120mg Organic Green Coffee Bean Caffeine, Low Calorie, USDA Organic, No Artificial Flavors (Wild Berry)

TL;DR: Delicious energy boost without the guilt of sugar, preservatives, or artifical ingredients.We tried Machu Picchu energy drink (variety pack w/ Alpine Mint + Ocean Citrus) at the recommendation of one of our friends, who highly recommended it. Now we know why!The flavor is crisp, clean, and refreshing. You can taste the yerba mate (reminds me of sipping the original in the mountains of Peru) and the lightly flavored citrius or mint flavor. It's really easy to drink and not overpowering (unlike a lot of other energy drinks that I've dried). My favorite so far is Ocean Citrus.The energy I get from Machu Picchu is really smooth - not overpowering like coffee (which I can't have much of without getting jittery) but more like tea or a fresh bowl of acai.Finally, love that the company is giving back to communities in LatAm and the US. Really love knowing that my $s are going to good causes including helping communities in Peru, Brazil, and the US.Overall, would highly recommend Machu Picchu - it's now my go to energy drink!

It gets the job done for energy purposes. I appreciate the zero sugar so that I can drink this guilt free without the unhealthy aspects of a Yerba mate drink

Loved the flavor. Would order again!

This is the best "energy drink" ive ever had. Ive tried every energy drink and of course coffee, all of which made me anxious and dehydrated. This yerba mate gives me a slight euphoric feeling, i believe this is due to its ability to increase dopamine and seratonin, and decrease cortisol. Yerba mate is also an excellent appetite suppressent, even compared to coffee. This is because it increases your GLP-1 and leptin levels, more so than coffee. Seriously, if you are on a diet, and want to start skipping breakfast, this stuff is great for that.

Better than Celsius!

To me it tastes like a black tea with a hint of citrus. Love the fact that it’s sugar free and has a mid amount of caffeine for that lunch time boost. No jitters for me

I bought this based on reviews and my taste buds must be alot different from the people that like this. I couldn't even finish one it tasted so bad. I wish I could return it but maybe I can find someone local that might buy the rest to recoup some of the $34 so it's not a total loss. Definitely going back to the Guayakí!

Just cracked open my first Alpine Mint Machi Picchu Yerba Mate, and it was surprisingly refreshing; nice green tea/ coffee flavor with a light cooling mint finish, no nasty aftertaste. I subbed my regular morning coffee with the Machu Picchu, and I am ready to tackle my day. Can I run a marathon? No. But, this is a nice beverage to have morning, mid day, or evening, when you need just a bit of energy to finish your task. I would buy this again, maybe next time in the Citrus flavor, to give it a try as well. Oh, I like that this drink has caffeine as the energy boost and not all those sugars and amino acids that other brands have.
