Tiny and Dr. Andrew Huberman Announce U.S. Debut of Their Majority Owned Canadian Yerba Mate Beverage – Mateina

Tiny (“Tiny” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TINY) a Canadian holding company and Dr. Andrew Huberman announce that their majority owned Canadian Yerba Mate Beverage – Mateina –is now available in the United States via drinkMateina.com. The U.S. launch includes a new sugar-free option that was co-developed with Dr. Huberman.

Tiny’s interest in Mateina is held through its private partnership, Tiny Fund I, LP. Dr. Huberman is a neuroscientist and professor in the department of neurobiology at Stanford School of Medicine, and also one of the top podcasters in the world with the Huberman Lab Podcast.

Mateina

Founded in 2017 by Nicolas Beaupré and Elodie Simard, Mateina was born out of a lack of low-sugar and organic Yerba Mate options in the market and is available across Canada at leading retailers like Whole Foods. Cultivated in partnership with a fourth-generation farming family in Misiones, Argentina, the brand offers an array of organic, sustainably farmed yerba mate products. These include non-carbonated, lightly sweetened cold beverages in a variety of flavors (original lemon, peach passion, and grapefruit guava), loose leaf teas, and a new sugar-free option. Nicolas Beaupré and Elodie Simard, continue to operate the business while leveraging the partnership with Tiny and Dr. Huberman.

Management Commentary

“We envision a world where yerba mate is a highly accessible and health-forward beverage that is consumed by hundreds of millions of people in the US and around the world, in the same way coffee and tea are today," said Elodie Simard, co-founder of Mateina. "Partnering with Tiny and Dr. Huberman enables us to introduce Mateina U.S. and globally while also underscoring our commitment to sustainable, organic farming practices in Argentina."

"Yerba mate has been my preferred source of caffeine for more than three decades," said Dr. Huberman. "I often discuss yerba mate's health benefits — emphasizing its high antioxidant content, its role in managing blood sugar, and its possible neuroprotective effects. Collaborating with Mateina to develop a non-smoked, sugar-free version of cold pressed yerba mate was a thrill and I’m so excited to be able to share this drink with the world. I see it as a truly peerless beverage in terms of its positive effects on mind and body."

Andrew Wilkinson, co-founder of Tiny, added, “Tiny has been a huge supporter of Andrew Huberman and we are incredibly excited to partner together on developing and bringing to market this incredible yerba mate brand to the US. We're confident that Mateína will make a significant impact in the U.S. health beverage market, bolstered by Dr. Huberman's expertise and the scientific merits of yerba mate."
