we created matély to offer a cleaner, more refreshing kind of energy — inspired by the ritual of yerba maté, made with simple ingredients, and built to bring people together.

from personal search to shared energy

matély was founded by anas after searching for a healthier alternative to coffee and sugary drinks — something that could provide steady, natural energy without the crash. during that search, he rediscovered yerba maté, a plant rooted in south american culture and also deeply familiar through syrian tradition, where it is shared as a daily ritual of connection.

unable to find a clean, organic version that matched what he was looking for, he decided to create it himself. together with frank, matély was built as a simple, honest drink: cold brewed, made with a few natural ingredients, crafted in small batches, and designed to share positive energy.

why yerba maté?

yerba maté stood out to us for more than just its energy.

it has long been valued for the way it brings people together — shared in circles, passed from hand to hand, and enjoyed as part of everyday life. that spirit of connection became just as important to us as the drink itself.

with matély, we wanted to honour that tradition while reimagining it in a refreshing, modern format that fits today’s lifestyle.
