Had this tea earlier in the night with milk, it was yummy. Still not much of a chocolate flavor, but oh well. The scent is pretty chocolatey – my boyfriend walked by and was like “it smells like chocolate” haha. I am also not sure this gives me more of a caffeine boost than plain black tea but it makes a nice cup.

Like w/ true teas, there are a lot of conflicting stats on caffeine in mate. This site says 100 tea bags of mate = 1 cup of coffee. Again, it’s one site, so take it as you wish (you should probably disregard it lol), but I thoguht I’d at least attempt to help lol http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/712649/the_yerba_mate_and_caffeine_debate.html?cat=69

That’s really interesting! Thanks. I have seen a bunch of different tea websites claim that mate has almost no caffiene to more than coffee, but regardless I enjoy the flavor :-)

Bio

Tea has always been a part of my life. A cup of tea was always the solution to middle school tears and high school early mornings.

When I was in college I started quite the little tea collection in my tiny kitchen cabinets.

I have definitely scaled back my tea ordering and tasting the past 2 years or so, but I am getting back into it.

Outside of tea my interests include reading, photography, too much tv, visiting new places, trying new restaurants and playing video games with my husband.
