Judy, Megan, and Anna were perpetually bleary-eyed, surviving on a steady stream of coffee and sheer willpower to push through their demanding schedules.

One fateful evening, Megan stumbled upon an article about yerba mate. The herbal infusion, renowned or its natural caffeine and health benefits, sparked a glimmer of hope in the trio's fatigued minds. Excitedly,they delved deeper into its lore, discovering its roots in South American culture and its association with itality and connection.

Inspired by the idea of finding a healthier alternative to their coffee-fueled existence, Judy, Megan, and Anna pooled their resources and procured a batch of yerba mate leaves from Argentina. With determination in their hearts and exhaustion weighing heavily on their shoulders, they set out to create something special. Their journey began in Judy's cramped apartment kitchen, amidst textbooks and the aroma of brewing herbs. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, they christened their venture "Capyerba" a playful nod to the capybara, South America's largest rodent known for its sociable nature. Their goal was to craft a brew that not only invigorated the body but also nourished the soul.

Determined to make healthy caffeine accessible and convenient, they innovated further. They envisioned a product that could be enjoyed like a caffe latte, providing the perfect balance of energy and comfort. After numerous trials and errors, they perfected their recipes, blending the rich flavors of yerba mate with creamy plant-based milk and a hint of sweetness.

But they didn't stop there. Drawing on their love for South American cuisine, they infused their brews with amazing flavors inspired by the region's culinary delights. From cozy horchata to decadent dulce de leche, each sip was a journey through the vibrant flavors popular in the continent. Despite countless setbacks and sleepless nights, their perseverance paid off. They finally perfected their signature blend, a harmonious fusion of yerba mate, plant-based milk, and southern American-inspired flavors that tantalized the taste buds and enlivened the senses. They called it "Mate Lattes."

With their brew in hand and determination in their hearts, Judy, Megan, and Anna took to the streets, sharing their creation with the weary denizens of the city. From busy commuters to harried office workers, "Mate Lattes" offered a moment of respite in the chaos, a chance to reconnect with oneself and others.As word of their venture spread, so too did their impact.
