About

Quirqui Mate is a Portuguese startup supported by the University of Aveiro's entrepreneurship ecosystem, born to redefine the functional caffeine beverage market in Portugal. Positioned in the strategic space between coffee and conventional energy drinks, the brand developed QuiMate Original: a ready-to-drink beverage made from yerba mate, guarana, and natural lemon juice, sweetened with agave.

Developed in collaboration with CFER Labs, our short and transparent formula focuses on functional naturalness, delivering a clean, smooth energy source with sustained focus, free from crashes or artificial additives.

More than just a beverage, Quirqui Mate represents a lifestyle focused on the balance between performance and well-being. The brand is built on the ground and in real-world contexts — from the university campus to sports and social events — connecting people and promoting conscious vitality through the power and culture of yerba mate.
