5 Tasting Notes

San Mateo Yerba Mate from Guayaki
96

This stuff is pretty good no matter what way you prepare it or drink it. The first time I had it I was very shocked at the difference in taste from traditional yerba mate. But, this isn’t a bad thing at all. San Mateo has a very youthful and bright flavor and is great for an afternoon perk up and especially great in the summertime as an iced beverage. I love this stuff!

Paris from Harney & Sons
97

Wow… I don’t know what to say. First, as soon I as opened the tin there was a rush of scent that flooded my senses. I was so taken a back a first. To be honest, I was slightly worried it was going to be too much. But, after making the tea and taking that first sip, I am so please with this purchase. I have no way to describe the many different flavors that are in this tea. I cannot pinpoint what the flavors are. Some sort of berry obviously (strawberry? raspberry?).

I don’t know what it is… But, I do know that this tea is fantastic.

Peach Black from Stash Tea Company
80

Great peach taste with a strong, standard black taste behind it. Not the highest quality tea, but it gets the job done.

Awake- Filterbag from Tazo
88

Great tea that lives up to its name. Is very strong, so for those of you that don’t like stronger teas, I would stay away. Many complain of the taste, but be careful on how you brew it. Follow the instructions many others have used: very hot/boiling water and low steep time.

Yerba Mate Pure Endurance from Guayaki
91

Great citrus-y taste, but the overall taste is somewhat on the weaker side for me.
