Club-Mate is a unique caffeinated soft drink from Germany, made from mate tea. With its distinctive taste and natural caffeine content, Club-Mate has made a name for itself especially in the tech and club scenes, representing an alternative lifestyle beyond conventional sodas.
Club-Mate is produced by the Loscher Brewery in Münchsteinach, Bavaria, and is based on a traditional South American mate tea infusion. Since the 1990s, the drink has gained increasing popularity in Germany and beyond. The brand stands for individuality, independence, and conscious consumption—qualities that particularly appeal to creatives, developers, and free spirits.
Club-Mate is known for its tart, slightly smoky flavor, derived from the mate plant. With a caffeine content of about 20 mg per 100 ml, the drink is stimulating without relying on artificial additives. It is relatively low in calories and is often consumed as an alternative to traditional energy drinks or coffee. Its clear recipe with few ingredients appeals especially to consumers who value transparent production and natural contents.
In addition to the classic “Club-Mate,” the brand also offers other variants, including Club-Mate Cola, Club-Mate Granat with pomegranate, as well as seasonal or limited editions. Each variety follows the core principle of a natural, caffeinated soft drink, with flavor diversity and exciting combinations at the forefront.
Club-Mate is available throughout Germany and is increasingly distributed internationally—particularly in Europe, North America, and urban centers worldwide. The drink can be found in selected supermarkets, beverage stores, clubs, coworking spaces, and online shops. The typical glass bottle with the yellow-blue label has become a cult symbol for alternative scene beverages.
