Popular athletes always have some kind of game-time tradition — and it turns out Lionel Messi is one of those athletes. The soccer player is consistently in headlines as he plays for Inter Miami (and, of course, because of his world-famous talent). Messi was also just turning heads over that controversial pizza on his Instagram story, but we will refrain from inserting our complete and totally honest opinion on that (let’s just say it looked slightly less appealing than other pizza we’ve munched on lately).

So, we know Messi enjoys a solid slice — but what is he drinking with it? It turns out the legendary athlete enjoys Yerba Mate Tea often (see his Instagram post) and even brought it to sip on before the 2022 World Cup. Per Healthline, the tea provides antioxidants and nutrients (like vitamin C, vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, and more). Similar to the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee, Messi likely enjoys the beverage for its energy boost, fatigue reduction, and mental focus properties. And get this — you can grab some on Amazon! Depending on your preference, you can purchase a can of Yerba Mate or a loose-leaf version that you can brew yourself at home (which may give you a bit more bang for your buck).

A 12-pack of Guayaki Yerba Mate in the Enlighten Mint flavor goes for $32.38 a pop and is described to be an organic, clean energy drink. You can opt for the bluephoria, revel berry, lemon elation, or orange exuberance flavors for a similar price. If you are looking for a loose-leaf version, snag the Organic Unsmoked Yerba Mate Tea for only $17.09. All you have to do is scoop out one tablespoon of the herb per cup of hot water, allow it to steep for about five minutes, and strain! According to the packaging, you can even add some milk or sweetener to boost the taste.

Yerba Mate Tea is made from the Yerba Mate plant (aka naturally caffeinated leaves) that derive from the South American Atlantic rainforest, according to the Guayaki website. Looks like other soccer stars have hopped on Messi’s tea train, with retired player David Beckham making a recent post to his Instagram story. We wouldn’t exactly mind if Messi or Beckham invited us over for a cup of tea — just putting that out there.
