MATI Plant-Powered Sparkling Organic Energy Drink, Citrus, 40 Calories, 12 Fl Oz, Pack of 12

I like the size of the cans, as well as the actual 'felt' benefit of drinking this energy drink. Shortly after consuming the drink I felt significantly more energetic and focused, and was able to wind down during the evening/late afternoon. There is no crashing for me with this drink which was a surprise for me. It's also easy on the stomach in comparison to 5 Hour Energy, as 5 Hour is often acidic for me and ends up disrupting my stomach if I haven't eaten something while consuming it. With MATI, I can drink it on an empty stomach and it doesn't bother me one bit.The only criticism I do have is largely subjective: The taste is acquired. With the Citrus flavor, I was expecting more of an orange-ish or lemon/lime flavor. I get some hint of it but mostly, it reminds me of fizzy mineral water with a splash of something that 'might' be lemon, or 'might' be lime. That being said, this is the only criticism I have of this product, and the taste is definitely tolerable, just not what I anticipated it to be.I'll be buying different flavors of MATI as the energy benefits are no joke; they work for me, and help with that post-lunch energy dump in an efficient and wholesome manner without stomach disruption or a sleepless night.

This energy drink has everything that i want with nothing that I don't. For some I think it will be an acquired taste and so may take some getting use to. I like this one because its not sugary, its all natural (no chemicals) and its refreshingly good! Its kind of tart, probably from the lime, I really like that because most of the energy drinks I've had in the past are sweet. Don't get me wrong, I like 'sweet' but know that its not good for me. This drink only has 45 calories per can.PROS:1. All Natural - It imparts energy of 1.5 cups of coffee without the jitters;2. It has antioxidants (equiv. to 3 cups of green tea), potassium (equiv. to half a banana) and vitamin C (equiv. to 1/4 of an orange);3. No added sugar. Its low calorie - 45 cals /canCON:A bit pricey.Mati is an all natural energy drink that you can drink without feeling guilty about the ingredients. Price aside, I would recommend to a friend and would definitely buy again.

I just moved from NC to CO and I forgot how great MATI drinks are. I worked at a small local business in Durham NC, where MATI was born, and we sold their drinks. Whenever I was tired or working a double I would buy one and get through my day. But moving to CO there isn't any MATI and I was just getting through the day with my coffee and maybe a soda in the afternoon. I recently got a PT evening job and getting to the office and through my day without the need for a nap was hard, extremely hard. Then the heavens spoke and MATI had a sale a case for $20 and I had to get some. And I forgot how great they are, there is NO crash at all. I drank one for the first time before I left the office the other day and when I got home I got all my housework and errands done without even thinking I was tired or needing a nap. On a second occasion I brought a MATI to my evening job and the time went by so fast and I got my job (labor intensive) done in 60% of time it normally takes. I am glad Amazon sells MATI and I am thankful for that $20 sale they had (I live alone and ordered 3 cases).

I loved the old MATI pictured on the left with "32% fruit juice". It was a great low calorie energy drink. I always had one as soon as I woke up in the morning, and I would give that drink 5/5 stars.The new "Organic" replacement is downright disgusting. It leaves a terrible aftertaste. I wish they had not changed it and it would be great to be able to buy the previous non-organic version.

I must admit, this new formula isn’t getting it for me. It’s attempt at keeping the new formula to taste the same just isn’t there, for one. And 2, it’s not nearly as “potent.” Which are the 2 main reasons I was buying it.I’ve been drinking Mati - mainly Citrus - pretty much every day for close to a year and a half, now, but this attempt at going “organic,” for me, has me back in the market in search for something that tastes good and is effective. This new formula just isn’t getting it anymoreVery dissappointed in this new “Organic” formula. I wish they would either go back to the original formula or continue to sell the original formula, also.

The first sip was surprising. Not sure, it was followed by another sip. Then another and another, etc. I found that I really like this drink (acquired taste - ??). I like that it has only 40 calories and is all natural. I have had one for each of the past 2 days and the promised energy factor was true for me. No afternoon sleep-fest. I don't know about the other flavors but this one you can distinctly taste. No complaints here and I can easily recommend this drink particularly for people who like unsweetened tea.

I really like Mati, but if you haven't tried it before you may not want to order a 12 pack first. My husband and teenager would probably give it one star, but they are used to drinks that are loaded with aspartame or real sugar, so that drinks seem really sweet. I like that this isn't loaded with sugar or alternatives to sugars (such as aspartame, sucralose and even stevia). I like that it has just enough sweetness to keep it from being flavored water so it's pleasant to taste, but not so much that it gives you a sugar high (or fake sugar high--no "alternative" sugars here, just sweetened with a little fruit juice). I say that as someone who has a big sweet tooth, but don't like to waste my sweet tooth calories on a drink (give me some chocolate cake instead!). It's a great pick-me-up when you need a little caffeine. I especially like buying this because I know I'm supporting a small business. The only down side (and one reason why it gets 4 stars vs 5) is the high price. The price is actually on par with other "healthy" energy drinks, but I think they are all overpriced. Yet when you aren't a coffee drinker and need a hit of energy you pay the price...:-)
