Most definitely. I find brewing it strong enough feels similar to strong coffee. I feel energized but also a subtle feeling of well being. I'm not much of a caffeine drinker but I would go for mate if I had to choose. Both for health benefits and effects. It energizes without the jitters/anxiety coffee sometimes has. Plus it's delicious when you aquire the taste.
