WHAT DOES LEMON ELATION TASTE LIKE?
Lemon Elation has a brisk lemony mate flavor. It's easy drinking and clean tasting, and not too sweet.
HOW DO THEY COMPARE TO THE BOTTLED MATE DRINKS?
The bottled mate drinks are more 'juicy' and 'earthy' and come in glass bottles. The cans have a lighter and brighter flavor. The Traditional Mate bottle is close in flavor but has a bit more of a yerba mate body to it, and not as much lemon.
HOW BIG ARE THEY?
16 FL. OZ.
ARE THEY CARBONATED?
NO. But, they are under minimal pressure so the cans maintain integrity when shipped.
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE GUAYAKI?
Gway-uh-kee Yer-bah Mah-tay
ARE THEY ENERGY DRINKS?
Not in the traditional sense, but many people experience energy from drinking mate as well as clarity of mind. Each can has 150 mg of caffeine, which is equivalent to a cup of coffee.
WHAT IS YERBA MATE?
Mate has the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate. Yerba mate is made from the naturally caffeinated and nourishing leaves of the celebrated South American rainforest holly tree (Ilex paraguariensis).

I am an avid, endurance cyclist and begin every ride with a bottled, Guayaki Yerba Mate for a great boost. Lemon Elation has been recently added to my lineup. It goes down very smoothly and has a nice/subtle lemon taste. Most importantly it provides that non-jittery, energy boost provided only by yerba mate. This is a great way to start a workout or an vigorous, athletic endeavor!

Very light and pleasant taste. No "fake" lemon flavor like lots of drinks. Refreshing and gives a nice energy boost! This was shipped out almost immediately and made it across the US in less than a week from the time I ordered it. (Although it was never marked shipped on the website!) Another great Guayaki product!

This formula is the best I have ever tried.Unlike other energy drinks that get you up and then you crash Guayaki Lemon and Mint Elation keep you on an even keel with zero crash and many times more nutrient rich ingredients and antioxidant power.I tell all my clients and everyone else you have to try Guayaki Yerba Mate if you want to maximize your health and get the edge you are looking for.

Nice smooth lemon flavor... I could definately guzzle a few cans. I only wish a store near me carried this so I could do it more often. This is by far my new favorite flavor of ready to drink Guayaki!!!

This product can compete with the best of the energy teas on the market. The taste is excellent (for those drinkers who feel the glass bottle teas are too "earthy," you will find that the can does not have that earthy taste). The energy boost is sustained and impressive. Give this drink a try. You won't be disappointed.

I love this creation by Guayaki. So much better than any other energy drink on the market. I keep a case at work to help me through the afternoon. I can't wait to see the next flavors. ; )

I moved from California to the Midwest a few years ago. Although i miss home terribly, not only because i could buy lemon elation in the store but for so many reasons, i am glad that i can buy this online. Thanks for the great tasting, and totally work-producing, drink!
I first discovered Yerba Mate when i saw youtube sensation Ijusting just absolutely raving about it. So i figured why not, it only turns out to be $2 a can. I am now addicted to the stuff. I love the great refreshing taste, that you can tell is not a sugary, drink filled with things bad for your health, its a crisp, pure, clean taste. (although it is a bit of an acquired taste that took me a few cans to finally notice my love for the product.) It also does an amazing job waking me up in the morning, great substitute for that cup of coffee in the morning. And its faster and easier, being a college student always running out the door to barely make it to class on time, sometimes i dont have time to brew coffee. Yerba Mate you just grab and go! Its an amazing product that i would highly recommend to anyone.
