So we're big fans of Matevana at our house. In case you don't know, it's from Teavana and has the following ingredients:
Roasted Mate leaves, cocoa kernels, rooibos tea, chocolate chips (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa powder), flavoring, white cocoa butter splits (sugar, cocoa butter, dextrose), almonds, cactus blossoms, sunflower petals and cornflower petals.

At $5.80 for two ounces, it doesn't exactly break the bank, so I'm looking for options not so much for price, but because I prefer to support other businesses. Especially if it's something I can obtain from a local business (probably not likely in this case). Any suggestions?

Here's a link to an earlier post that may help: http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6508

Republic of Tea Yerba Mate Latte is a reasonable surrogate.

You can buy it in bulk for thirty-two buckeroos a pound. This is my fav coffee substitute, although I also recommend Guayake Java Mate, which is a bit more affordable.

RoT recently introduced a Mate Latte variant with more chocolate added

Thanks! I like supporting Republic of Tea, so that's good to know.
