This tea tastes like honey mixed with vinegar. I’m pretty sure I’ve had mate before and it didn’t taste like this. I’m not sure what this flavor is from but I don’t think I can bring myself to drinking this tea ever again. The honey flavor IS really good, and I wish that was the only flavor because then I would love this tea. Maybe something bad happened to this poor tea? I don’t see anyone else mentioning this flavor.

I have a bit left, so if anyone else is interested in it, please let me know. Even though I haven’t exactly made it sound delicious! :P

Have you tried it iced? I really didn’t like it much at all hot, but as an iced tea it’s one of my favourites. Then again, could just be something in there that didn’t agree with you!

This tea seems so divisive, people either really love it or really hate it! I think maybe it’s the combo of so many different base teas? I’m on the like side, but I can see why people think it’s icky.

Yeah, it’s kind of..perfumey? I can see how it could be a little strange.

my coworker loves this tea and bought like 200g of it and drank it every morning + resteeping. I thought the “honey” taste was really weird to mix with mate and not for me.

Bio

I’m a premed student at a university near Austin. I’ve recently started getting very much into tea, but I’m still learning. I’ve lived in Hawaii, Mississippi, Colorado, Maryland, and California, and each place has it’s own charm, but Colorado was definitely my favorite place. I also knit quite a bit and sell things on my etsy when I’m not busy with school.
