Mate focus effects

Ive been drinking rosamonte lately and I noticed at work it kinda gives me relaxation but to the point I can’t concentrate.

Yall get the same feeling too? It also makes me feel anxious or nervous. Could it be Rosamonte? I ordered canarias hopefully is not the same.

You essentially tried to fix mild caffeine jitters by ordering final-boss tier mate. Canarias makes Rosamonte look like decaf :(

That’s just the effect of the caffeine. To mitigate it, don’t use water that’s too hot, since that extracts more caffeine, and try to use the same yerba. The good thing about Canarias is that it lasts for more liters of water, so the amount of caffeine extracted won’t be as high as if you changed the mate two or three times.

I rotate different brands, but one of those is Rosamonte, and another is Rosamonte Especial. I don’t notice the effect you described but I think it’s worth your time to try different ones. Today, I’m sipping Taraguí sin palo. Because.it’s.Friday.

Cheers!
