More About Smooth Energy (The Evolution of Chamo-Mate)
This high-performance infusion is an innovative dry blend of premium botanicals, specifically structured to provide sustained cognitive energy and a rich, indulgent flavor profile.
Canarias Yerba Mate (Uruguay/Brazil): The undisputed champion of South American mate. Aged for 4–6 months and finely milled, it provides a creamy, malty foundation. Traditionally favored by elite athletes, it delivers a robust, sustained wave of focus and vitality without the crash associated with coffee.
Silver Needle White Tea (Fujian, China): A delicate, minimally processed leaf that adds a high-integrity layer of botanical antioxidants. It polishes the blend, providing a silky, airy mouthfeel that elevates the heavy malt of the mate.
Organic Honeybush (South Africa): A naturally caffeine-free botanical that acts as the "bridge" of the blend. It contributes a deep, full-bodied resonance and a natural "honeyed-wood" sweetness that satisfies the palate without spiking glucose levels.
Organic Chrysanthemum (Asia): Our seasonal spring balancer. In traditional herbal practices, Chrysanthemum is a "cooling" floral used to clear seasonal brain fog, soothe the senses, and balance the intense, warming energy of the Yerba Mate.
Madagascar Vanilla Bean (Madagascar): We use actual, aromatic vanilla bean rather than synthetic flavor sprays. It provides a luxurious, creamy finish that grounds the blend in a state of somatic comfort and indulgence.
Why Choose Smooth Energy?
Elite Cognitive Momentum: Designed for the proactive creator, student, or athlete. The unique xanthine profile of our Canarias Mate provides a "liquid nootropic" effect—sharp, sustained focus without the jagged jitters.

Hand-Blended in Durham: Meticulously crafted in small batches right here in North Carolina. We apply the highest "Craftsman’s Standard" to ensure maximum aromatic potency and freshness for the April & May season.
How to Infuse:
Amount: 1 teabag per 8-12 oz of water (adjust to taste) / Or 1–2 teaspoons of loose leaf per 8oz of water.
Temperature: 155–170°F (68–77°C). (Avoid boiling water, as high heat will scorch the fine-cut mate and white tea leaves, causing bitterness).
Time: 5 minutes (For Best Result).
Stir: Stir gently to help release the creamy vanilla and rich, malty aromas.
Try With: Customize your drink with a touch of Local Raw Honey (stirred in once the tea cools to a warm temperature to protect the honey's enzymes), or add a splash of your favorite milk alternative to beautifully highlight the chocolate and roasted nut notes of the yerba mate.
Smooth Energy Milk Infusion (16 oz.) Chilled

2 teabags (or 3 teaspoons of loose leaf) of Smooth Energy
4 oz Hot Water (155°F–170°F)
4 oz Milk (Cold)
8 oz Icy Water (or a cup full of ice)
1 Tbsp Local Raw Honey (or Organic Cane Sugar)

Matthias’ Inspiration: The Evolution of Smooth Energy
This unique energy infusion is deeply personal, rooted in my early memories of mixing comforting, milk-based chamomile and vanilla beverages during my childhood and teenage years. That nostalgic, creamy smoothness was a flavor profile I always hoped to capture in my work as an Herbal Infusionist.
Initially, I set out to craft a botanical blend that retained that soothing vanilla-chamomile essence but could be enjoyed at any time of day. This search for a daytime balance led me to the bold, earthy power of Yerba Mate, resulting in our original iteration: Chamo-Mate.
However, the Jasper & Gold standard is one of constant refinement. In early 2025, I made the decision to discontinue Chamo-Mate so I could dedicate time to truly perfecting the formula. I realized that to create a definitive performance infusion, the intent needed to be focused entirely on clean, sustained momentum.
Now, that vision returns fully realized as Smooth Energy. I removed the chamomile to prevent any conflicting signals of drowsiness, allowing the blend to be utilized solely as an energy catalyst. To maintain the "smooth," jitter-free experience, I introduced Floral White Tea. The naturally occurring L-Theanine in the white tea leaves provides a calm, focused cognitive counterbalance to the robust power of the Canarias Yerba Mate.
Layered with the rich, aromatic sweetness of Madagascar Vanilla Bean, this reinvented infusion finally captures the comforting flavor of my youth while delivering the resilient, somatic balance you need to elevate your day.

Smooth Energy: Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in Smooth Energy compared to coffee?
Smooth Energy provides a robust, highly effective energy boost similar to a cup of coffee, but with a completely different somatic feel. Because it is powered by Canarias Yerba Mate and Floral White Tea, it delivers a sustained, "jitter-free" momentum. The naturally occurring L-Theanine in the white tea and the cooling properties of Chrysanthemum balance the caffeine, preventing the sudden spikes and crashes often associated with conventional coffee.
What does Smooth Energy taste like?
Expect a rich, full-bodied, and indulgent flavor profile. Unlike grassy or bitter green teas, Smooth Energy opens with the creamy, toasted malt notes of aged Uruguayan Yerba Mate. It transitions into a deep, "honeyed-wood" sweetness from the South African Honeybush, and finishes with the luxurious, comforting warmth of real Madagascar Vanilla Bean. It is a "Malted-Vanilla" experience without the dairy or sugar.
Why did the name change from Chamo-Mate, and where did the chamomile go?
In early 2025, we discontinued the original Chamo-Mate to perfect its performance capabilities. We realized that to create a true "daytime energy catalyst," we needed to remove the chamomile, which is traditionally a sleep-support herb. To maintain the "Smooth" and calm cognitive focus you loved in the original, we replaced it with Floral White Tea (rich in calming L-Theanine) and Chrysanthemum. This evolution ensures you get pure, jitter-free energy without any mixed signals to your nervous system.
Do I need to add sugar or sweetener to this blend?
No added sugar is required! The combination of South African Honeybush and Madagascar Vanilla Bean provides a lush, natural sweetness that satisfies the palate without spiking your glucose. If you prefer an extra touch of sweetness, we highly recommend stirring in a bit of Local Raw Honey—just remember to let your infusion cool to below 130°F first to protect the honey's living enzymes.
Can I drink Smooth Energy iced?
Absolutely. Smooth Energy makes an incredible "Vanilla-Mate Cooler." We recommend brewing a hot concentrate at 155°F–170°F for 5 minutes, allowing it to cool slightly, and then flash-chilling it by pouring it directly over a tall glass of ice. The rapid cooling locks in the crisp Chrysanthemum and creamy Vanilla notes, making it the perfect refreshing fuel for a warm North Carolina afternoon.
Why do you use Canarias Yerba Mate specifically?
We practice Intellectual Honesty in our sourcing. Canarias is a legendary, fine-cut yerba mate from Uruguay and Brazil, widely trusted by elite athletes and professionals for its clean, long-lasting focus. By using this specific, aged cut, we ensure our customers receive a premium "liquid nootropic" experience that yields a creamy mouthfeel and unparalleled cognitive momentum.
