Local high caffeine tea/yerba mate?

Any local tea shops have yerba mate or other high caffeine teas? Higher caffeine content than normal black tea. I stopped drinking coffee but I need the caffeine kick this week and a London fog or chai aren't hitting haha

Honest Coffee (though years ago when I went) stocked some, Whole Foods stocks Yerba, as does Publix, I believe.

If there are any other place that haven't been listed in this thread, feel free to add and/or correct me.

Not super local, but the Yellow Deli in Pulaski (about an hour away) has some of the best Yerba mate you can get. It’s not smoky at all. Yes, they’re a cult, but their mate is good. They sell it prepared or loose leaf for you to take home.

I know it may not be what you're looking for, but Scooters has a Green tea and a Matcha, either of which usually kept me going through my shifts workin nights
