Exotic Soda Variety Pack - Materva Yerba Mate Soda & Jupiña Pineapple Soda
Exotic Soda Variety Pack — Materva & Jupiña, 24 Cans Total
The two most iconic Cuban-American sodas in one variety bundle: 12 cans of Materva (yerba mate soda) and 12 cans of Jupiña (pineapple soda) — 24 cans total. The Cuban-Miami refrigerator staple, the cookout cooler default, and the introduction-to-Cuban-culture gift for friends who've never tried either.
What's in the bundle (24 cans / 2 cases)
- 12 cans Materva Yerba Mate Soda — earthy, subtly sweet, with a natural caffeine kick from yerba mate. Cuban-born soda, the unofficial drink of Cuban-Miami.
- 12 cans Jupiña Pineapple Soda — sweet, tangy, with real pineapple juice. The tropical-bright counterpart to Materva. Loved at every Cuban birthday and pool party.
Product details
- Total count: 24 cans (12 + 12)

How to enjoy
- Cold from the fridge: The standard. Cuban-Miami daily routine.
- Materva afternoon caffeine fix: The Cuban alternative to a 3 PM coffee — yerba mate caffeine is gentler and more sustained.
- Jupiña with rum: Pineapple soda + light rum + lime = an instant tropical highball.
- Materva cocktails: Use as a mixer in cocktails with rum, vodka, or whiskey — the herbal notes work surprisingly well with brown spirits.
- Party cooler: Mix both flavors in a tub of ice. Guests pick their side.
Why this is a great gift
If you're trying to introduce Cuban-American culture to a non-Cuban friend, this is the most accessible entry point — both sodas are immediately enjoyable, distinctly different from anything in mainstream American supermarkets, and they pair perfectly with Cuban food. Pair the box with a bag of Mariquitas plantain chips and a Cuban sandwich for a complete introduction.
Cultural context
Materva and Jupiña are both rooted in pre-revolution Cuba and have continued production in Cuban-American Miami for decades. For Cuban-Americans, the taste is inseparable from childhood, family gatherings, and a sense of cultural continuity. For everyone else, they're just genuinely great sodas you've probably never tried.
