The organic beverage features 150mg of natural caffeine, 20 to 25 calories, and 3 to 4 grams of sugar per bottle in three fruit flavors: Mango Passionfruit, Raspberry Lemon, and Strawberry Tangerine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The partnership mirrors a growing movement where wellness and functional drink brands recruit dynamic talent across different industries. Much like when <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/jalen-duren-named-brand-ambassador-for-ballislife-drink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jalen Duren was named brand ambassador for Ballislife Drink<\/a> to reach athletic consumers, or when <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/jason-kelce-stars-in-liquid-death-and-garage-beers-new-cross-brand-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jason Kelce starred in Liquid Death and Garage Beer\u2019s cross-brand campaign<\/a>, Saint James blends sports credibility with modern lifestyle appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each ambassador brings a unique following to the launch. Hughes, an NHL All-Star, has expanded his commercial portfolio with major partners like Bath &amp; Body Works, Bauer, and Chipotle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cruz, a Super Bowl XLVI champion turned television personality, previously landed deals with top names such as Beats By Dre and Avi\u00f3n Tequila. Grutman, the designer behind ISA Grutman Jewelry and co-founder of the Style Saves charity, adds high-fashion influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saint James was created by AriZona Iced Tea co-founder John Ferolito, designer Jon Buscemi, and co-CEO Brad Neumann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saint James Yerba Mate is moving away from the single-athlete playbook by assembling a trio that covers professional hockey, football culture, and luxury lifestyle fashion. As the energy and ready-to-drink tea categories crowd with synthetic energy drinks, brands are leaning into clean-label functional caffeine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By pairing a high-profile active athlete (Hughes), a recognizable broadcast veteran (Cruz), and a fashion entrepreneur (Grutman), Saint James positions yerba mate not just as sports fuel, but as an everyday lifestyle staple for busy schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does casting talent across sports, media, and fashion make a beverage campaign more relatable than sticking to traditional fitness influencers? Will organic, plant-based yerba mate continue to take market share away from traditional canned energy drinks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saint James Iced Tea has officially debuted its first product line outside ready-to-drink tea with the launch of Saint James Yerba Mate.
