BevNET Review: First, we commend Guayaki for really thinking outside the box in terms of flavor. The formulation, which actually has a lot more flavor than just chocolate and raspberry, is an impressive effort that delivers an earthy taste (what else would you expect from Guayaki?) with notes of cocoa, cherry, ginger, matte, and moderate amount of sweetness. They've also added acerola cherry, goji, ginger, and vitamins. We appreciate not only the quality of the flavor, but the innovation and complexity of it as well. Plus, it's organic certified, which will definitely help it stand out. In terms of functionality, this product relies on mate and vitamin B12 as its main ingredients. Packaging is a glass 2 ounce bottle with a full wrap, which is something that we haven't seen too much of in the shot category. Prime placement of "Organic Energy Shot" makes the product easy to understand. Overall, an exceptional, innovative entry into the shot category.

Tastes horrible!
1 stars1 stars1 stars1 stars1 stars

I just finished drinking one of these, so I'm not sure about the energy boost but I will comment on the taste. My first reaction was one of nearly losing my lunch (much to the entertainment of my coworkers). After a few more attempts at tiny sips, I came to the conclusion that the best way to describe the taste is one of rancid prune juice. Needing the energy boost I just sucked it up and chugged the remaining shot and quickly followed it up with a piece of gum to cover the vomit inducing aftertaste. Is this taste a quality of the yerba mate or is it just an awful combination of chocolate and raspberry?

I am an avid Guayaki drinker, and I LOVE the new energy shots! Not only do the taste better than any other similar product, but they give you a truly sustatained engery that lasts for hours. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up in the morning or before a trip to the gym. Worth every penny!

I had the opportunity to enjoy this flavor and the lemon on a day when I was not only taxed mentally, but physically as well - an 18 hour on the clock day at work. Unlike other energy drinks that cause many people to get the jitters or have other negative side effects, Guayaki Energy shots gave me all of the good without the bad. I had sustained energy and experienced a sense of well-being. My mental capacity and strength was clear without any muddled headaches. The ONLY energy shot I will take. Not only does it increase your energy it is natural and safe. What more could you ask for?
