Anas Khadem Aljamie
Founder
At Drink Matély, they craft cold brew yerba-maté drinks locally brewed in the Netherlands, offering a unique alternative to traditional beverages. Their mission is to foster moments of connection while delivering a unique and enjoyable experience.
About the Maker
It all started in 2020 when Anas quit smoking. “I turned to sugary drinks as replacements, but they left me feeling tired all the time with health issues! I needed an alternative that supported my health and energy levels without compromise.” That’s when he discovered yerba mate, a treasured herb from the Amazon and his Syrian roots. “While Yerba mate is native to South America, Syrians embraced it through migration, and we’ve brought this authentic experience to the Netherlands, staying true to its roots without commercializing it.
Production Process
Matély: it’s real cold-brewed, made with simple ingredients that everyone knows. It’s naturally caffeinated – without the crash. Cold brewing is by steeping mate herbs over night. It is a low-impact production process: cold brewing requires less energy than traditional boiling or hot brewing methods.
Sustainability
Why Drink Matély is sustainable? Let us sum it up for you:
- Organic Ingredients: They use organic Yerba maté, which is grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This reduces chemical runoff, protects biodiversity, and promotes soil health.
- Local Production: By brewing locally in the Netherlands, Mately reduces transportation emissions associated with long-distance shipping and supports the local economy.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: The packaging is designed with sustainability in mind, using recyclable materials to reduce waste and environmental impact.
- Low-Impact Production Process: Cold brewing requires less energy than traditional boiling or hot brewing methods, conserving energy and water resources.
