I enjoy unroasted mate blended w/ green tea, but I never consume any tea in extract form. If I want to consume the entire leaf, I go for matcha or another powdered tea. I’m trying green oolong and gen mai cha for the 1st time today. White and black ground teas are next on my list.

You should try one of our flavored yerba mate blends: Malted Chocomate (roasted mate) or You Put The… (lime in the coconut) with green mate. http://www.52teas.com

Okay. I’ve made my lame attempt at spam for the day. I feel like I’ve been more productive now.

I need to do another roasted mate blend soon. I’m kind of thinking it would be interesting to blend roasted mate and puerh with something.

not to keen on the roasted as it takes away from the vitamin content !!

How does the extract work? Is this some sort of powder? The Roasted Marshmallow Mate w/chocolate sounds good….

I’ve never seen an extract that wasn’t in liquid form… doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist though.

Got it. Come to think of it- a colleague at work would drink this green tea extract…… Yes a Smores mate does sound good…
