# club mate

## Visual Elements

a glass bottle of beverage with light orange liquid that appears fizzy, and a blue bottle lid. The beverage is labeled “CLUB-MATE”.

## Cultural Context

Club-Mate is a caffeinated mate tea that became the unofficial drink of Berlin's techno scene and hacker culture. It fuels late-night coding sessions and all-night raves equally, symbolizing the overlap between tech and electronic music.

<!-- justification
## Justification

Where techno culture and hacker culture share a fridge. Mibera sits at the same intersection of music, tech, and late-night obsession.

**Team Notes:** "Club Mate and other similar brands are made from roasted mate which tastes a lot different from mate drunk from gourds actually" — Puerhood, Jan 2024, #milady-week | "I was disappointed that similar-looking mate drink I saw in Brazil was nothing like club mate. It was super sweet and not sparkling" — Puerhood, Jan 2024, #milady-week
