Our Story
We are a Montreal-based family business bringing the authentic flavours of traditional Argentine mate to North America.
KataMate is real mate, not an energy drink, not a juice with mate extract.
Our mate blend is optimized to deliver smooth, sustained energy, naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, without the crash.
Prepared and shared as a ritual, mate is meant to be experienced together. That’s why KataMate is designed for gathering spaces and communities, where people connect, talk, and stay.
We care about the earth as much as we care about culture.
Our entire product, from the mate to the bombilla, is 100% compostable 🌱♻️.
By combining authentic preparation, eco-conscious design, and modern convenience, we offer a functional mate that fits today’s way of living, without losing its soul.
This is the KataMate experience.
Authentic Argentine mate,
designed for shared experiences.
What KataMate Is
(and What It Is Not)
KataMate is not an energy drink.
It is not a juice with mate extract.
It is not flavoured caffeine.
KataMate is authentic Argentine mate, prepared and served in a modern, accessible format that respects the ritual.
We bring the authentic mate experience to people who value focus, connection, and shared moments.
