Gaucho Fuerte from Guayaki

Its a good thing I have been drinking all this Mate today since I had to go out and change a flat on my car. I think I did it in record time though because I’m all hopped up on Mate. Go Me!

OK so I actually used the drip coffee maker to brew this as suggested. I’m not as excited today about it as I was yesterday. Maybe a little too earthy. This is a very strong mate. I was pretty excited for the boost of energy late in the afternoon yesterday. Not bad, just not sure if it will be my thing. I generally enjoy mate and was excited to try this one. It stays true to the Paraguay cutting methods. It has a lot of powder in the grind. It will make you think someone is mowing your yard by the smell whill it is brewing and it definitely has some of that in the taste also. Overall not a bad tea and I will probably keep some on hand for when I need a pick me up.

Rooibos Sweet Amore from Teavana
62

This tea might actually be growing on me. I’m almost near the bottom of the tin so that makes sense. I am actually starting to appreciate the floral qualities. It has a sweet floral aroma that I found offputting at first but kinda enjoy now. Probably still not a regular tea for me since I prefer stonger taste profiles. But, not as bad as I originally thought.

This tea is way earthy. Completely a tea for mate lovers only. Tastes very toasty and strong. Truly this tea isn’t going to be for everyone but I love it for the energy boost it gives. A great pick me up in the afternoon.

Rooibos Tropica from Teavana
82

Yes, Yes, Yes. Just as good this time. I find this tea soothing.

The citrus fruits come are very subtle in this one. It seems to be a very relaxing drink with no overwhelming flavors. Just a gentle rooibos with strawberry and peach being the most prodominate flavors in this cup. Not that any specific flavor dominates this tea. It is just a nice blend. I made enough for two cups so we will see if I still feel the same in a bit.

Yunnan Jig from Adagio Teas

great black tea. It has a delightfully smooth, earthy flavor. Still has the edge of black tea but is light and goes great with a meal.

Almond Biscotti from Teavana

This is definitely a cookie tea. Even though it is extremely tempermental (doesn’t like extreme heat or being oversteeped) it can be a delicious desert tea. Probably not for everyone though.

Still not one of my favorites. I could do without the floral notes in this one.

Profile

Bio

I just recently got into the loose tea thing. The flavor and quality sucked me in all the way. Tea has now become a major part of my lifestyle. I am really trying to experience every tea I can get my hands on.
I work for Verizon Wireless and Dish Network and live in a small town in Oklahoma. Needless to say we don’t have an abundance of resources around for loose leaf tea drinkers. I have to do most of my shopping online so any tips, hints or leads would be appreciated.
