Somehow caffeine from Maté feels different though. To me coffee gives a fast spike and then comedown, while Maté's effect is more balanced, and lasts longer. And I don't think it's just caffeine content, because tea is nothing like that for me.
For staying productive for hours, nothing beats Maté for me (except stimulant medication).
If you want a jolt, make a matcha shot with the same mass of matcha as you would normally do for coffee ;)
