ilex mate reviews and discussion

Loving the switch to ilex! 🤎 I tried to get off of coffee a few months ago and within the first couple of days, was met with unbearable headaches and energy crashes at work. I caved and started back on my daily morning brews. I was still waking up tired and reliant on this cuppa to perk me up for the day..only to have anxiety through half of the morning. When I found ilex, I committed to ditching coffee once again and this time, the transition was so seamless! Started off with one peppermint (yummm) ilex each morning. No headaches and such a refreshing way to wake. In the first few weeks, I was still finding myself losing energy mid-day but now have figured out that having a second in the afternoon keeps me going without jitters and still able to sleep at night :) It's like a subtle, steady, clear-headed boost all day long. I look forward to my morning yoga routine, more calm and centered with ilex in my teapot. Still a cafe and coffee lover at heart! So I sometimes treat myself to a cheeky oat latte on the weekend...now free to enjoy the taste without the reliance.

I'm someone who can't drink espresso as I'm too sensitive to the caffeine. What I like about ilex mate is being able to have a drink on hand for the days when I need a pick-me-up to help clear the afternoon fog but that doesn't make me feel overly jittery or nauseous ( as caffeine sometimes does ). The simple design and thoughtful packaging is appreciated too.

I've really enjoyed drinking ilex mate during my day to help bring focus into my work. Sometimes I add in a bit of lemon or honey, but it's a delicious herbal tea all on its own!

As a lover of all things peppermint, I was so excited to find the Ilex Peppermint & Spearmint Mate. It leaves me feeling refreshed, energised and sharp. The perfect alternative to coffee without the side effects. Super excited to try the other flavours!

I was feeling anxious and jittery after my morning coffees so was looking for an alternative, and came across ilex. I was honestly pretty dubious that ilex would give me energy without any negative side effects, but I feel so much better - I'm working more efficiently, thinking more clearly, and don't have an awful crash at midday.
